   * Expect release + release notes by end of the week or early next week.
* Community Questions
   * (Sebastian) http://blogs.biomedcentral.com/bmcblog/2017/02/23/update-more-research-made-accessible-with-figshare/  - interest in embedding audio/video files in Dataverse, with annotations. Using https://web.hypothes.is for annotations.
   * https://demo.dataverse.org/file.xhtml?fileId=22074&version=RELEASED&version=.0
      * https://demo.dataverse.org/api/access/datafile/22074
      * (Pete and Phil) It's possible to get the filename from the "Content-disposition" and "Content-Type" headers, if that helps:
      * $ curl -i https://demo.dataverse.org/api/access/datafile/22074
      * HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      * Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 16:14:23 GMT
      * Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
      * Content-disposition: attachment; filename="Bellini_Casta_diva_par_Claudia_Muzio.ogg"
      * Content-Type: video/ogg; name="Bellini_Casta_diva_par_Claudia_Muzio.ogg"
      * Content-Length: 3611321
      * Connection: close 
   * (Sherry) Author affiliation now has parentheses in it. Now there are two different facets - for parentheses’ed ones and unparentheses’ed ones. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/HYMHkrQ0dUI/1qreu8kABAAJ
      * (Phil) I think it's a bug in 4.7.1. Does anyone know how to reproduce the bug? I haven't been able to reproduce it with the latest code from the "develop" branch on my laptop.
      * (Courtney) I can ask Nick.
      * (Sherry) You have to turn on the facet. You have to have at least two or it doesn't show.
      * (Phil) Sherry and others, please try to reproduce the bug on http://phoenix.dataverse.org which is running "develop-3b93aea" as of this writing.
   * (Courtney) Discoverability using Google - researchers from different institutional repositories can’t seem to find published dataverses and datasets in the TDR dataverses.
      * (Pete) Robots.txt might be worth taking a look at - by default it tells search engines to please go away. By default in dataverse, robots.txt blocks search engines. There has been some discussion over whether it should be the default.
      * (Phil) See http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.7.1/installation/config.html#letting-search-engines-crawl-your-installation for info on opening up robots.txt
      * Example from Pete’s robots.txt:
         * curl https://dataverse.harvard.edu/robots.txt
         * User-agent: Googlebot
         * Allow: /$
         * Allow: /dataverse.xhtml
         * Allow: /dataset.xhtml
         * Disallow: /
         * Crawl-delay: 20
         * User-agent: *
         * Disallow: /
      * Pete confirmed - your robots.txt is currently telling Google to go away.
   * (Sherry) Harvesting issue: https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=253364
      * We’re working to make this behave more consistently in the future.
      * Problems with the EJB Timer (in production environment, specifically) - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3672
      * Working on correcting this behavior during this sprint.
   * (Sherry) Happy to be able to customize landing page.
      * (Danny) Thanks for all the feedback on customization. We just merged https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4145
      * (Sherry) There isn’t a featured dataverse widget that we can just pop down, is there?
      * (Danny) You’re the second person to suggest this. Please create an issue for it? Maybe others need it too. https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4162
