Tool Promotions- Contrib to Provisional

  • IMS TI: No, but pinging lead

    • The docs(java and help) will be done by code freeze

  • PageOrderHelper: Yes

  • Polls: Yes

  • Preferable: Not running in prod anywhere.

  • Site Stats: No

    • Still are scalability concerns

  • User Membership: Yes

    • still needs TP, but matrix indcates that the dev of one isn't a prob

    • this is an admin tool that needs a new API prior to introduction to CORE status. There are a # of JIRA's requesting this: SAK-6792. SAK-6793, SAK-6794

Tool Promotions- Provisional to Core

    • current Chat tool has a lot of problems

    • Linda will load test the tool during the QA cycle

    • Some want the old tool and what we've been calling chat2 available at the same time. Implementors will be able to choose between the two
