Hi James,

1. Yes, it is intentional; we want to test user interest in these

2. I'd rather push the pilot date an extra day forward than not include 
related artifacts.

Talk to you tomorrow

The developers have estimated that it'll take a few hours to implement (our DB currently only holds artifacts that were crawled through from the exhibitions catalogues and not outside; the adjustment will take time).
