[Netarchivesuite-curator] BnF NAS update for July

[peter.stirling at bnf.fr]

Hello all,

We have started the preparation for our 2017 broad crawl. Before the crawl 
we will be changing the whole crawling infrastructure: we'll have faster 
CPUs with more RAM and SSD storage, and we'll use an internal Virtual 
Storage Area Network instead of an external VSAN as before.

As we have a lot of work to do on the infrastructure, we finally decided 
to not open any development work for the preparation of this crawl. During 
the summer, we'll launch several crawls to test NAS version 5.3.1 and the 
new infrastructure. In September, we'll launch a new crawl to test the 
data collected and determine the budget of the crawl. 

We also have approached several registries to expand our list of domains, 
especially for gTLD. The main change with previous years will be the crawl 
of IDNs.

Best regards,
The BnF digital legal deposit team
