- IMPORTANT: IE9 doesn't handle FCKeditor correctly. Work is being done on a patch, but in the meantime, things work okay if the user switches into Compatibility Mode. How did this get missed? We need a technology watchdog, someone who would keep track of what changes in the computing environment could affect us. We have a responsibility to get OSP working in Safari and Chrome (which are similar under the covers). Can we challenge information about things that don't work to Safari and Chrome? Email to development and user lists? We need to surface the issue for Safari and Chrome, so they see that many institutions have this as a number one problem.
- The QA director position is going away. Alan Berg's position was donated. The current proposal is to have 3 roles that would not be funded, for performance testing, automated testing, and functional testing. Individuals or small teams might handle this. Grant money to help? There may be some kind of announcement about the changes to the Product Council sometime. But we need to figure out what is going in with the merge with JSIG. Noah will talk to people and see if some kind of clarification announcement can be made.
- Sakai/OSP Maintenance Status (Bug fixes can be verified on the following QA servers Nightly Build (HSQLDB) or Nightly build (Oracle)).
- SAK-18766 Erratic Stickiness of Group and User, No page update after Manage Status in Matrices tool (UMICH).
