<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">Dear all,</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">In mid-March, we
launched a new internal harvesting workshop about Browsertrix. We finally
decided to extend the tests stage in order to focus on angles we were unable
to fully explore:</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">- the harvest settings
and behaviors</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">- the scalability:
to test the harvest of several hundreds of accounts simultaneously</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">- the harvest scheduling:
daily, weekly, etc.</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">- the harvest organization</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">- to quantify the
time required for the harvest monitoring part</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">The tests will go
on until June 4th.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">In early April, we
were conducting tests to launch our next Videos harvest. We tried different
settings to reduce blocking issues and we finally launched the crawl the
week of April 27th. Unfortunately, the harvest had to be paused due to
these blockages.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">Last week, we launched
a special blog crawl with a new system: 4 queues are opened at the same
time, one per blogging platform, and the blogs in each queue are archived
one by one. This concerns the eklablog, overblog, canalblog, and centerblog
platforms. We hope we will shorten the crawl period this way.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">Finally, we started
the first steps of the preparation of our broad crawl in order to obtain
the different domains lists to archive.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">Best regards,</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana"><br>The BnF digital legal deposit team</span><font face="sans-serif"><hr />
