Meeting minutes for April 5, 2010

  1. Sakai/OSP 2.6 Issues and Status (Bug fixes can be verified on the following QA servers Nightly Build (HSQLDB) or Nightly build (Oracle))
    • SAK-15929 Maintain able to use wizards without permission to do so. Chris may be able to get to it this week. Has code changes, but involves a whole lot of testing.
  2. Sakai 2.7 Development Status
    • Status update: 2.7 QA Testing (The OSP Test Scripts can be found at OSP Test Scriptsand Scripts for Testing IU Enhancements) New screenshots should be coming for Portfolios tool Test Plan. Brian has questions about Wizards, whether things that student testers are finding are really bugs. Will meet with Lynn. Marist is still testing. Last week, at request of powers that be, Beth went through the list of outstanding issues and decided which ones should be deferred until 2.7.1, in order to keep release cycle on track. To have something in 2.7.0, we should have a fix in hand and testing resources committed by next Friday.
    • SAK-17852 !site.template.portfolio lacks roster perms for all roles. Marked critical. Noah will follow up with Anthony White about this, since it is a kernel change.
  3. Sakai 2.7.1 Development Status
    • SAK-18309 OSP permission helper UX mismatch. The permissions helper is out of synch. Can we update to the user interface that has been adopted for the rest of Sakai. If we can just switch to using the Sakai helper, this will be easy. If we have to adjust the OSP helper, it will be harder. Not clear why we use our own helper. We can just try switching to the Sakai helper and then do a lot of testing. Would be nice to have it in 2.7 because it looks goofy. If anyone can work on it next week, we might be able to squeeze it into 2.7.0.
    • SAK-17940 Auto-select of Portfolio Forms causing intermittent problems. UM isn't sure that this can be fixed and tested in time. Trouble reproducing it in other environments. Chris will try to set up clustered test servers.
    • SAK-18181 OSP > Importing wizards causing bug reports. Zip file attached to ticket. Data integrity violation. It was a wizard Jan gave them. They will try it on servers other than qa7 (DB2), and also try a different wizard. Testing to see if you can import 2.5 wizards in 2.7.
    • SAK-16868 < disappears when editing rich text. Affects version 2.6 and 2.7. Problem with dangling tags. Question about behavior of XSLT. Noah is concerned about the fix, as it will have global effects for any form. Charles has been running it in production.
    • SAK-16795 forms with more than 9 items in a list fail on submit. Items that allow unlimited number of items to be added. There is a Charles Hedrick patch, but it needs testing.
    • SAK-16871 osp share sends wrong password. Charles Hedrick patch supplied. Deferred for now.
    • SAK-18084 Can cause a DB error with a Glossary import if the short description is greater than 255 characters. Should be a straightforward fix, but not important enough to hold 2.7 up.
    • SAK-18011 Page title does not support special characters. Free form portfolio. This was introduced by a patch for SAK-17873 which was a security issue (against cross-site scripting)
    • SAK-18010 Warning of anonymous use of org.theospi.portfolio.presentation.control.ViewPresentationControl does not contain IP address of remote user. Should be straightforward to fix.
    • SAK-16181 osp: resources are not correctly released (Static Code Review). Noah will pick this up and make a comment.
    • Seems to be a real problem with wizards. When you click on a wizard, you get Site Unavailable. On left hand side, there is another menu bar (two sets of left nav.) Same tag was working fine this morning. DTD issue? That shouldn't cause site unavailable. Lynn will create jira ticket.
  4. Sakai 2.8 Development Status
    • SAK-16557 Indexes are missing on OSP tables with Oracle
    • SAK-17351 Duplicating portfolios (trunk merge pending ...) Last week we decided to just go ahead and merge these changes. Noah will nudge this forward.
    • SAK-16693 Roster Synchronization (pending adding optional flag; test server review and trunk merge). IU hasn't done anything about this.
    • SAK-15547 Skip First Step of Portfolio Creation (if only one choice presented to user). No one volunteered.
    • SAK-17579 OSP fails if compiled on Java 1.6. Community issue that will be evaluated more broadly.
  5. Sakai 3
    • Sakai 3 ePortfolio General Status Updates. Teaching and Learning Group put off talking about Autonomy theme till Jan back. Talked with Keli about other lenses/themes. UM is also trying to make sure we share any developments with Stanford.
  6. Standing Agenda
    • Sakai Conference updates. 4 Three Canoes things accepted. Sean will probably not be there, so Bryan from IU will help with the technical session.
    • Status updates on OSP Help UpdatesBryan will review Noah's material. Need someone to review the Styles tool help. Needed in the next 4 weeks. Brian Dashew can do it. Discussion of terminology for CIG Coordinator roll.
    • Styles tool -- a style added for a matrix is then available to students creating Design your own portfolios.
