    • @Need to add SSL data to the troubleshooting page
    • Permissions testing
      • Chris: readonly/readlink was a suprise
      • Lead to the brokenness
      • Testing suite is not catching things
      • Need to get to the point where we don't have to click
      • Chris: not efficient if only Josh writing them
        • Have written 40-50 tests
        • Doesn't cover annotations, etc.
        • @Throw several people at writing tests
        • Tomorrow discuss a testing strategy, 10AM
        • (May also clean up the annotation.description logic and the single rating)

    • Web client basket: still need to explore
  • Export of data & permissions

    • Jean-Marie: Can I export an image in read-only group?
      • Chris: take 5 minutes to write a client
      • Jean-Marie: deeper in concept of image ownership
      • Need to put aside time to discuss it
      • Jason: asymptotic approach to perfection in permissions here
      • some things we can deal with; and some you have to take responsibility for
      • probably asked to add another permissions for "Download"
      • Chris: what we do or don't expose in the client v. the API
        • No line plots, analysis, etc.
        • An option would be to have a web-frontend (JCB/publishing)
  • FS

    • Pretty close to having the metadata infrastructure in place for insight display
    • Missing: capabilities of BF/FS to read from file, metadata-only import, bf-initialize
    • start initially with a BF.setId() on each call (unoptimized)
    • Colin: 3 tickets underway
      • Need to discuss if any specific data is missing
    • Josh: fs-or-bust
    • Colin: currently limited to flat directory structures
    • Jean-Marie: performance (esp. in ImportCandidate) is key

    • Creation of groups, etc. has been updated
    • Feel free to test and let Ola know.
    • "system" group is on the list. Unsure.
    • Refreshed on mage
  • QA/forums

    • Chris/Melissa keeping up with their BF fixes and adding tickets accordingly
    • Patch build for bf 4.1?
    • Will: Leica reader is filling things improperly (attenuation v. transmissivity)
      • Jean-Marie: setup time with Melissa?
      • Andrew: This is on ticket for light source
      • Jean-Marie: the enumerations for things like light sources are all full (not abbreviated) but users need a way see abbreviations as well

      • @Will discusses with Melissa
      • How do we handle corrections to existing imports? (update db? silent? other suggestions?)
