I started getting warnings in FF: Some cookies are misusing the recommended “sameSite“ attribute
I tried various methods, which mitigated some of the problem, but I continued to get admonished about my cookies.
It looks like people on older versions of PHP are getting the warning and resorting to a hack. We're on the verge of upgrading so I didn't want to have any of that.
It looks like an .htaccess one-liner is solving the issue for me:
Header always edit Set-Cookie (.*) "$1; SameSite=Strict; Secure"

Following up after 2020-06-15 mtg with MH and RM about design:
I've changed my way of thinking a bit about the LEMDO anthology.
I think we need five Jenkins builds:
- lemdo-dev on Jenkins where we can see everything, regardless of status (roughest of rough drafts all the way to done).
- A lemdo anthology on Jenkins where we can see what we are going to push to the public site (lemdo.uvic.ca).
- And the three anthologies on Jenkins: DRE, QME, ISE
Then we push LEMDO, DRE, QME, and ISE to lemdo.uvic.ca, lemdo.uvic.ca/dre, lemdo.uvic.ca/qme, and lemdo.uvic.ca/ise (unless we can secure dre.uvic.ca, qme.uvic.ca, or ise.uvic.ca for these projects).
I have an idea for the menus for LEMDO-dev. I think it should have all the menus for the live site + a menu for "Drafts". Basically, we can publish everything but the stuff under that menu (which will be governed by docTypes).
Other possible top-level menu items are:

The PDF dictionary uses the Aboriginal Serif font, which lacks the characters subscript one (U+2081, ₁) and subscript 2 (U+2082, ₂). These are needed for some morpheme identifiers. I used FontForge to construct those characters based on the superscript versions, U+00B9 and U+00B2 respectively, in each of the four font variants (regular, bold, italic, bolditalic), and the results seem to be OK.
