3. Sakai/OSP Maintenance Status (Bug fixes can be verified on the following QA servers Nightly Build (HSQLDB) or Nightly build (Oracle)).
   • Chris may have found a bug related to how you define default options for forms. If you try to export the matrix before publishing it, the options wouldn't be set. Chris has a fix.
   • Only published matrices are duplicated when you duplicate a site -- is that the way it is supposed to work?
   • Manage site associations settings also get lost when you duplicate a site. So if faculty duplicate their site, they have to set that all up again. IU doesn't have duplicate site, so they haven't paid attention to this. Most likely would not be too terribly complicated to implement. IU would be willing in principle to work on this, but not clear how much time they have. Chris is going to talk with management about
   • Linkage of assignment to a matrix cell -- is there a way to unlink the cell? The way it works is that once an assignment has been submitted, you can't unlink the cell any more. If you delete the assignment, the association goes away. rSmart has asked about the ability to add in the unlink facility. There is a need to make sure that data doesn't disappear, but on the other hand it is very easy to make a mistake when you are setting associations up.
