<MikeG-> MikeG-  has redone the main FPR page, and is working on the rest of the interface for editing format policies
<jsimpson_> for Archivematica, Austin set up a test environment on openhosting, that emulates the City of Vancouver setup.
<MikeG-> Semi-on hold until the next ASA migration review though
<jsimpson_> I will be using that for scalability testing
<mcantelon> jsimpson_: Nice.
<mcantelon> I'll take some notes...
<mcantelon> Mike C added thumbnail display to the AIP search
<jsimpson_> Joseph and I did a code review this week, walking through the threading model in MCPServer and MCPClient, I am working on developer documentation of that
<mcantelon> Awesome... good to document those innards.
<MikeG-> very good
<jsimpson_> Joseph and I also had a discussion about how to do database migrations from 1.0 to 1.1 for example, trying to establish a process that will make upgrades easier/possible.  I will also be documenting that.

<mcantelon> Nice
<joseph> I've done some work on manual normalization
<joseph> I think that's it from me

<mcantelon> Thanks fiver
<joseph> Justin: there is some information here that will be relevant to documenting database 1.0 to 1.1 migration: https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Database_Data_Management
