Improve the performance of the link checker process Currently, the link checker routine loops through a list of all the URLs it needs to check and sends them requests one at a time. Since this blocks the process while it waits for a response from the web server, we could improve the performance of the link checker significantly by testing multiple URLs in parallel asyncronously.
This will require some research to determine how many web requests we can make at once, since the limit may differ depending on the system, its configuration, or the domain name of the links being checked.

Change item deletion process to be safer and allow some form of undelete/recovery. If a staff user deletes an item, it would be good to have that delete "delayed" until the end of the day in case it needs to be recovered immediately.

Tracking entries reflect more accurately if the system or staff user initiated that status change In some cases moving an item to one status immediately moves it to the next applicable status. That tracking entry has the staff username versus a "system" username.

Staff would like to have scanned items automatically moved to the web Instead of having staff open the form in the staff client to process the items, they would like a utility to scan that folder and automatically move them.
This could be an issue if sites are scanning ILLiad and Ares items to the same folder.

ADA compliant staff client Staff would like to be able to change the size/font without the screens being squished. Currently, increasing the font size or resolution on Windows makes certain buttons and menu options not visible.
