- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRuPShYelm4&feature=youtu.be&t=42m37s
- Code4Lib journal is looking for submissions.
- Amanda has put some of our events in SAIL, which may result in higher undergraduate turnout.
- WWP has been looking for a new database to run the back-end of WWP.
- They have chosen eXistDB.
- All store xml data and let you access the data with xml technology, make documents query-able, and provide indexing. All also serve out content over the web.
- BaseX was the most lightweight, and makes the most send as a learning tool.
- MarkLogic was a powerful software, but too complicated and heavyweight. It's only free up to 1tb and very expensive after that.
- Also very steep learning curve, lack of interoperability
- eXistDB focuses on application development.
- Easy to set up, but lacks the training wheels of BaseX.
- Easy to play with and very invested in TEI data.
- A little slower to keep up with standards, but quicker thank MarkLogic.
- The website has a few updates. The about page has been slimmed down, though we'd like more up-to-date pictures.
- The project page has been spruced up and reorganized. A future iteration may have filterable tiles for projects.
- We've also made some aesthetic changes, like fixed wrapping problems with the print icon, and made the news page use snippets instead of full stories.
