Decision was made during 08.23.11 conference call to use 'mailto'. The 3 JIRA items have been closed. Anyone wishing to take on the work of fixing the email functionality in the future can re-open and update the relevant JIRAs.

2. Problem with sorting questions in question pools: SAM-1198

  • Longsight willing to implement solution. Stanford has not had a chance to spec out solution. Any takers?
