** Deploying code into production can be nerve wracking. Or, it can be a non-issue. I'll talk about our current test environment, which allows us to feel reasonably confident our code does what we intend. I'll also discuss our application monitoring, which informs us when even our huge test suite missed a scenario. We often see bugs in our monitor, write tests to demonstrate the bug, fix the bug, and deploy code before a user ever reports a problem.

* Chicago Collections Consortium (CCC), XTF admin tool development -- The CCC is creating a unified portal to access archival collections relating to Chicago at a variety of institutions. The consortium has chosen XTF to search and index the metadata. Our first order of business is to create an admin tool that can ingest any metadata from home institutions and create standardized metadata to allow discovery of related material across institutions. Development of the tool began in May. I'll give an overview of what we're doing from a technical stand point and update about where we are and what our difficulties have been. Esther Verreau, UIC
