Very useful interview with DO, recorded. The audio level on the backup recorder is way too low, though. Had to squash a bunch of spikes and then normalize to get it audible at all.

Tweaked the rendering of a box-selected area so that it zooms gently into place, rather than snaps as before. Then tried three or four more approaches to the zoom-out-zoom-in functionality without success. I still have one idea...

List of requests from KB is now done. Added lots more images and linked them, and fixed a few typos.

JN: received, completed ISE and MoEML timesheets for JJ.

Met with PL to discuss site progress. PL is providing new content for JN to insert.
JN updating site with new incoming content from PL.

Next steps:
PL contacted EK to seek advice on how next to proceed re site compliance, training, maintenance, policies.

Lots of work prepping for the release:

• GOSS2: Changed a random linegroup that was styled to look like an epigraph into an actual epigraph using cit and quote
• QMPS1: Split the document into two (QMPS1_introduction and QMPS1), linked them together in the usual ways, and fixed a lot of odd encoding in QMPS1
• LINKS1: Fixed the links so that they actually appeared on the left hand side of the XHTML, which wasn't happening before
• BIBL1: Fixed a number of typos and added schematron to catch bad spaces in authors, editors, et cetera.

Also chatted with JJ about plans going forward as well as MAPS1, which raised a lot of questions about the document. Did some investigation and wrote a long explanation with possible problems and solutions to JJ and AR

Polished off one more ticket (a French caption not showing up) before meeting with DH and discussing remaining tickets.

Got the chart working, which was easier once I switched to separate versions of Chart.js and moment.js; tweaked it a little, learning some useful stuff about how it works. Then wrote some progress tracking calculations into the same section of the diagnostics, including end-date prediction. That's it for progress tracking for now.

Participated with SA and others in interview by researchers aiming to create an aggregator for open scholarship products.

Late duty.
