Sept 14, 2006 Agenda and Minutes

Minutes

Reordering update

• should be working on nightly2
• can be turned off in sakai.properties
• work to be done before feature freeze
• everything works pretty much like Mike's mock-up
• if there are other comments, please add them to the Jira ticket
• Gonzalo is going to work on the skin a little bit
• Kathy will recommend some colors

Voting on resources

• Francette's criteria are good
• feature requests vs. bugs - are we just focusing on bugs?
• concern about not burying things
• can get other people in the code, Jim can mentor

Voting process

• the filter
• what it does and doesn't mean - not a promise, just a way to help prioritize and start that discussion

Resources Future

• Ian Boston and jackrabbit (a JSR-170-adhering repo)
  • he put a layer over jackrabbit that implements our CHS interface
  • but jackrabbit does not support clustering
• 2.4 plans - write a tool that registers as a content handler, which could allow, for example
  • exploding a zip file into content hosting, or other packaging, or hosted elsewhere
  • content handler for Dspace or Fedora

The confluence space

• Clay will try to help maintain it

Getting the word out

• • an email
  • a conference session
    • Clay volunteers to get the ball rolling by sending out some notes on a possible session
    • due date is Sept. 30th

We have a bunch of stuff in subversion from the recent work - can we do some cleanup

• features are in trunk
• we can get rid of other tags, but avail-01 and avail-02 are being used

Resources QA

• properties for turning things on and off (on by default?)
• what was the experience?

Do we need descriptive text for the interface?

• Kathy can attempt some

What about text for the help tool?

• Kathy will also try to produce some of that
