1. can we use UI framework other than jsf?
2. how to do jsf and ajax. stick dojo in jsf.

fall back suggesgted by article: create non-ajax UI that you can fall back on.
Duffy will take cm browser, make it a usable admin tool, and putting helper piece in.
daisy: dojo doens't work well with IE/safari. may not be a good time for ajax.
Marc agreed to modify mockup to not do ajaxy stuff.
Daisy: (for that one page in site info) sakai uses 'term' and cm uses 'academic session'.
Josh has mapped some of those mistmatched object. Use legacy object if you have to. Try to keep hackish stuff together so we can get easily replace them in the future.
Daphne: Running into issues with design of roster. It will have SIS driving seciton memeberships and still allows users to manualy create sections and users groups, hitting road blockers. There is a new draft of requirements. we don't fullyunderstand the issues here , stay tuned till next week.

daisy: how to show SIS sections as well as ad-hoc groups in home tool?
j: take a look at section info's decorated Group object. daisy will talk to josh offline.

Discussion on conference schedule.
josh has a session on "bridge sakai and SIS" . we could demo section info, home tool.
