For Akubra, I started this week by scouring the web for existing blob storage APIs.  I've been keeping disorganized notes here and there, and decided it was past time to start a wiki page on the topic.  As the links started piling up, I realized it would be really useful to have a "capability matrix" for the APIs as well as existing implementations.  It's not finished yet, but here's where I'm keeping it: Analysis of Existing Approaches. I hope to have the matrix finished by Monday night.

This week, I also:

• Reviewed Eddie's Mulgara/SPARQL update for 2.2.4.
• Updated the subversion config in src/build to use correct line endings for .sh/.bat.  Bill updated the svn properties on the existing files.
• Got an open source/nonprofit license for the Gliffy Confluence Plugin.  Dan installed it.  I really like the way these plugins can be installed and enabled straight through the Confluence admin interface, while it's running.
• Merged in FCREPO-253 after Bills review
• Started reviewing Eddie's branch, FCREPO-254
• Did some top-secret firewall configuration stuff.  I suppose it's not good for me to go into details publicly.
