0.50 hours: DVPP: Added periodical abbreviations in parentheses in the search pages to make results more comprehensible; working with RA on timesheet issue (payment apparently missing).

1.50 hours: Scancan: More discussion of the planned transfer to UofA; encoding of vol 28 foreword, and set up of French version, with some experimentation required because it's half-way between and editorial intro and an article.
2.00 hours: Maint: Following a report from KD about sites failing securityheader.com testing, we started investigating and testing the use of .htaccess on various sites to mitigate. We now have a good tight .htaccess clause we can use, and it works for a rating of A+ for some sites (DVPP, LOI) but fails completely on others (Scancan, Francotoile, Govlet), we think because their virtual host config disallows local .htaccess files somehow). Other sites (MoEML) work OK, but the site functionality is broken by the current CSP setup, so they'll need some careful investigation and testing before deployment.
1.25 hours: DVPP: Incorporated the new .htaccess file into the site build, enabling rsyncing to the server without deleting it. Also brought one external image in-house so we don't have to allow lax CSP; that's better for Endings anyway.

1.00 hours: Maint: Went back to Jenkins servers and figured out how to configure security headers in virtual host config; tested and tweaked until sites built on Jenkins actually work; then migrated that to a build-configured .htaccess file for MoEML.

1.75 hours: Scancan: Wrestling with fonts for runic transliterations. The suggested font is not Unicode and would be impractical, and even that font does not contain all the required characters.

Rewrote the modern map rendering code to use a GeoJSON layer instead of a KML layer, tested, tweaked and set up rendering styles. Converted the last couple of non-GeoJSON coord sets over.

Had to make changes in both the XML generation and the HTML processing, since both were doing a sort.

5.50 hours: DVPP: Implemented the first phase of generating on-the-fly hierarchy-transformed versions of poems so that we can create both normalized and page-based views of each poem for site users (as opposed to editors). This requires first reprocessing the rendition/selector stuff, as well as converting the hierarchy and massaging ids to make sure they're unique. It may make sense to do this as part of generating XML versions of the poems initially, then process those versions, but right now I'm assuming that it's all done in memory as a first stage in creating XHTML5. Also wrestling with unwanted namespace declarations which are making HTML invalid; no solution there yet.
