Installation
The Windows installation is now working, but buggy. In order to install, several patches were made. Keith will document his specific steps this week.
The Linux installation of CouchDB is working. However, Lucene wasn't working before and still is not. We can not proceed with the linux machines until a search engine is installed. Ben suggested that we use the native, internal search engine in CouchDB as an intermediate solution. Although it is slower than Lucene, it will work. We can always go back to Lucene or another engine at a later time without much loss of work. Ben will show Keith what he knows and Keith will proceed with the project.
Data Entry
Matthew reports on his progress 'practicing' data entry with the Mac. He has put together a list of needs which will inform the flexibility/extendability options of the database. He will compile this list and post it on the wiki this week.
Virtual Machine
Jodi needs to check with Justin on the progress of setting up a virtual machine on jsekula.
Back-up
Ben will make a backup of the database that currently resides on the Mac. Even without Lucene, we can use the database on the linux machine as a backup.
