- Established tasks are high level and need to be broken down into plausible chunks of work
- For initial task mapping service and group provider need to be validated - can happen simultaneous to work on site info setup wizard and home tool
- Assumption that we should work from HTML mockups for our tools. Marc will be producing these
- Marc suggested JSF click-throughs though was discouraged by Duffy that nothing with JSF is simple and quick
- All developers concur, HTML or PPT is sufficient
- Are current mockups presented at 2006-07-20 Stanford and UCB Scope Meeting representative of the functionality required?
- Work on Site Info setup wizard is to replace CMProvider with cm-mapping API and CMGroupProvider
- Backward compatibility to CMProvider is not a concern; sentiment was expressed that adopter schools want to get away from the old model
Breakdown of tasks
- Create mock data for CM API impl that can be used in our development
- Changes to site info CM screen (uses velocity)
- generate nested list of section info
- requests sections from CM API
- enrollment set for which user is "official instructor"
- determine sections and sub-sections from enrollmentsets
- (potentially we could combine into a "convenience method" in the future)
- request existing mappings for these sections from cm-mapping service - this is to display which sections are already mapped
- public Set getSakaiReferences(String sectionEid);
- requests sections from CM API
- user selects a set of Sections fron list
- site info wizard maps these sections by calling CM Mapping service (public void setMappedSectionEids(String sakaiReference, Set sectionEids);)
- for each section, create a group
Note Should this be default behavior? Perhaps there should be a checkbox for "make groups/don't make groups"
- generate nested list of section info
- Create a Find Sections page for Sections that didn't show up
Note We need clarification about the permissions and workflow for approval around adding a course for which the user is not an "official instructor"
Proposed Solution:- Sakai admin is notified user x tried to add sections x,y,z to site b
- admin can create a Site and can map sections by using the Find page?
- select "find course" from nested list page
- produces find/search interface
- User selects sections from results that come back
- Selected results are added as options in the nested list home tool modifications
- Home Tool - new tool, not site info (give to Daphne/Marc for cut at display issues)
1.official instructor
2.Note This may have display issues. How does the display alter when showing a single section, parent and child sections, sibling sections and distant cousin sections?
This should be reviewed by Daphne and Marc.- Details to show about each section
- official instructor
- meeting time/schedule
- asks mapping service for sections
- asks CM service for meta-data
what about customization?
1.completely custom vs. stuff from API?
2.changing meta-data?
- Details to show about each section
put this in Confluence - we will review and add estimates
work in trunk
call for comments on changes to site info
release should be on a branch - we work in trunk? need to coordinate with release schedule
assuming full release to community next summer
how do we cut a release for the folks who want to play with this in Nov/Dec. timeframe
relationship to release tags
can have them point to our tags
...
- Home Tool can be included in site template
Note A question arose about customization:
Should the Home Tool information be customizable?- completely custom data could just replace stuff from API
- user could simply change meta-data, but that makes this a writable tool
- Home Tool can be included in site template
Task Scheduling:
Several things can happen conncurrently:
home tool and "realm-style" mapping tool (Josh)
meanwhile someone doing prep on site info
deeper work
group provider
cm chaining
API changes (Schedule object?)Aug

Action Items
Task | Who | Due |
---|---|---|
Add notes to Confluence | Duffy | 7/28 |
Determine how changes to Site Info will live in SVN given Nov/Dec. release will be maintenance only \ How do we permit those who want to use/test CM work to cut a release in Nov./Dec.? | Josh? Duffy? | 8/1? |
verify mockups are done |
...
or request mockup work from Marc. what are their statuses? what is usable from the PPT? | Duffy | 8/1 |
Developers review tasks and "bid" a time estimate on the tasks that they would like to complete | Josh, Daisy, Lydia, Duffy | 8/1 |
