Notes
* (Danny) Optional file PIDs pull request has been merged
* Will go out in next release, perhaps 4.9.3 instead of 4.10.
* Large File Upload
* Will be 4.10
* Community Questions
* (Amber) Large file upload and download. Larger than 2 GB. Just received a grant.
* (Pete) There is still movement on large file upload and download. Dual mode is the first step toward bringing big data support to the wider community. However, files cannot be restricted.
* (Amber) John Crabtree is working on something related (TRSA). Separate call to discuss large file upload and download.
* (Jim) TDL has been able to upload up to ~5GB. I've developed a separate file uploader[a][b][c][d][e].
* (Danny) Will follow up with setting up a meeting for big data
* (Amber) Internationalization. Community effort.
* (Slava) Question about bundle files for translation. After an upgrade, someone should maintain the bundles, adding the new entries.
* (Amber) I'm not sure all the details have been figured out yet. We need to figure out the workflow.
* (Slava) What about different versions of French? France vs. Canada.
* (Slava) French version from Paris

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-internationalization-wg * * (Slava) Installation script. It was longer before. Now installation isn't working.
* (Danny) We did some work over the summer with a group from RedHat (
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4764 ) and we are currently revising these changes (
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4966 ). Please leave details about problems in #4966.
* (Slava) The new version of Solr isn't working for us. Solr 7.
* (Danny) Please open a GitHub issue for this.
* (James) Dataset Search was released by Google. Make Data Count support is coming in the future. Is there more information coming about metrics?
* (Danny) We need to revisit metrics as a community exercise. We'll be talking to the Make Data Count folks soon. We were recently awarded a grant from the Sloan Foundation and a blog post is coming.
* (Amber) There have been a number of attempts to bring more metrics to the users using tools that query the database directly.
