Develop a new Heath Bar script to interface with the new CCH1
Develop a new Elevation Graph script to interface with the new CCH1 — being redeveloped to interface with the new CCH1 hybrid database
CCH1
Replace the search database with a hacker-resistent hybrid-version, the main database is still in MariaDB — In Progress
The search and list page is being further redesigned due to recent hacker and web crawler attacks overloading the CCH1 server — Prototype live, further testing and debugging in progress

Downloading Search Results is currently disabled to this server overload emergency
Complete the Update Statistics process, number of specimens, georeferences, yellow flags, etc — Prototype live, further testing and debugging in progress
Complete the Update History Archive process, including sorting by accession and annotation — In Progress
Replace the CCH2 georeferences with CCH1 revised versions in maps — In Progress
— add Baldwin dataset georeferences (for example)
Locality field standardization to increase percent of positive search results — Prototype live, further testing and debugging in Progress
Restore Collector field standardization
— revise Dick Moe's original table to be compatible with the new CCH1
— merge with the Baldwin dataset collector standardizations & resolve duplicates
Create a new Brewer and Jepson Field notebooks lookup interface
Develop a new Yellow Flagging process — Prototype live, further testing and debugging in Progress
— Jepson Regions Map error revisions needed for new Yellow Flag process — In Progress
Redevelop the ability to use BerkeleyMapper to map the search results — In Progress

CCH1 Feature Development Completed
2022
Jepson eFlora & ICPN
County distribution maps from the ICPN now read live from the current version of CCH1
Updating Yellow Flags on eflora maps
Create a new map dataset that links the eflora to the new CCH1
Redesign the Map Window
— Redesign and optimize the map icons to eliminate lag on loading
— Use optimized map icons that allow the retirement of the clustering map
CCH1
Downloading Search Results in Excel-compatible CSV text format has been re-developed
The CCH1 database has been moved to Maria DB
Hartman script re-coded and dot maps now use all georeferenced specimens in the new CCH1
New CCH2 member databases added in 2022
— ELH - BLM, Eagle Lake Field Office Herbarium
— GDRC - Green Diamond Resource Co.
— KNFY - Klamath National Forest Herbarium
— LVNP - Lassen Volcanic National Park
— NCC - Sonoma State University Herbarium

Results page enhancement
— restore ability to sort by first column (yellow & georef flags)
— Queries only show yellow flags in results if the box is checked on the search page
