Meeting 20120425

Development

• Joseph has been working on a polling replacement for watched directories, so we can use network or distributed file systems
• Joseph did a quick tweet to our dev-helper script, made stderr on a number of scripts appear in red, to find problems faster
• Joseph has been working on Issue 886, make overiding the default assigned threads by core count configurable.
  • Default is detect number of cores
• Mike C worked on the underpinnings needed for a file browser: added the ability to return directory structure data as JSON, adding the ability to configure source directories in the administration interface and using the file browser JavaScript widget I made earlier for the source directory selection.
• Joseph did a lot of work on the thumbnail generation. Put in some placeholders.

Deployment

• CVA SIPs are freezing at the Verify checksums microservice, so Courtney's bringing Joseph some examples for testing next week

Testing

• Austin has been working on the scalability testing.
