Meeting minutes for August 17, 2009

  1. Sakai/OSP 2.6 Issues and Status
    • Delaware is having trouble with portfolio tool artifact selection list not being populated. Noah will talk with Nancy after the meeting.
    • SAK-12856 Enable sortable columns in OSP tools - Virginia Tech priority, AZ looking at for 2.5.x No update.
    • SAK-15909 Creating Portfolio Template throws stack trace (with invalid schema) Needs to be verified.
    • SAK-15958 Slow performance in Wizards. Patch from Charles Hedrick. Should be pulled into 2.6x. Needs cleanup and testing.
    • SAK-16814 Portfolio assembly loses choices. When you use the multiple select. Nancy was seeing similar odd behavior.
    • SAK-16815 Portfolio share fails with IE8. Sharing screen needs some polish. Upgrading Javascript library seems to fix it, but we have to be sure there isn't collateral damage. Michigan will be looking at it in connection with their upgrade.


  1. Sakai 2.7/2.8 Development Status
    • SAK-12922 Configuring OSP to run successfully without autoddl enabled. Nothing new.
    • SAK-16770 Matrix ScaffoldingId parameter lost on import & save. Only happening on trunk. Beth has provided a patch.
    • Comments on UI demo last week: Expected to be very helpful. Issue of archiving old sites is mentioned on ticket for roster synchronization.
    • Merge to Trunk Status: Indiana University Matrices Enhancements (2.7? 2.8?)
      • SAK-15822 In Matrices, "manage status for all users" only changes current user

    • Finer Grained Document-Level Matrix Permissions Updates (Reviewed August 3rd). Some concern expressed about showing other peoples items in user's matrix.
    • SAK-16762 Within Portfolios tool, make sure that all public URLs are used everywhere.
    • Preview link in 2.6 in Portfolios tool - should button be disabled until there is enough data to actually build a portfolio?
