    • Sites widget
    • Tools widget

    • Nathan and UCB will clarify what sort of testing and where it should focused based on areas that are close to being done; other areas still need design/implementation work to get closer to final product that needs testing.
• Post Release
  • Priorities
    • Helping Nathan with redesign process
    • User testing of designs (implemented in milestone releases and on demo server so there is something to use in such testing)
    • full-scale QA testing, not really needed until first release candidate
• Sakai 3 Code Freeze
  • tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, 31 March 2009
• Kernel 2 basis for Sakai 3?
  • Go/no-go date is end of January for basing Sakai 3 on K2 or K1
  • Capabilities that depend on very-fine-grained permissions and permissions outside of tool/site model will not be possible without K2, so if going with K1 designs may need some tweaking in areas
• Georgia Tech Update
  • Working on entifying BlogWow
  • Will coordinate with Anthony on doc to help others with entification/RESTful process
  • Authoring Working Group interest in entification may be mature enough that a closer working relationship with the UX Working Group would be profitable.
  • Clay will share Cambridge/GT top-3 priority list for needed entities
  • Authoring WG has compiled entity list, but not prioritized them yet.
• Divvying up Design Work
  • Nathan, Keli, Eli will get together later this week to strategize over distribution of design work
  • Need to get more folks involved; how?
