This page is a working area for the SRG technical team - it will be changing over the course of SRG Prototype development.

Item Owner is/are the person(s) responsible for coordinating communication and secondary assistance to get the item done.

Status column - Done, Active or Sleeping. If Active, please fill in the notes area on where the status of the task is. It is the item owner's responsibility to make sure all active items have notes in them. Also, a task can go from Active to Sleep. If an item goes from active to sleep please not only put it in sleep but then put in that block who put it to sleep. As of this writing, item #1 has an example of this. Do remember - an item with a status of sleep with no name by it and no notes implies NO work has been done on said item. If this is NOT the case, please update the item with notes on what has been done towards completing the item and put your name by the sleep status.

If you move a status from Active to Done, please put your name next to the Done status along with the date it was completed. Done status items can open back up if needs arise.

General items to be completed

Item #	Name	Person/People Assigned to Work On It (BOLD = item owner(s))	Notes	Status (D)one / (A)ctively working on / (S)leeping
1	Design and implement the ability for passing form parameters into _NewItemProducer via AHAH form submission in AuthorProducer	Damian, Gaurav	Damian edited view parameters to allow itemId hidden form field to be submitted to _NewItemproducer. Gaurav is using this id right now in items 2 and 4	S - Damian
2	Create a list of "information" that needs to be passed back and forth in item #1 and #3	Gaurav	NOTES	A
3	Design and implement the ability for passing information FROM _Newitemproducer back to AuthorProducer	Damian, Gaurav	Waiting for item #2	S - Damian
4	Moving Javascript callbacks into _NewItemProducer	Gaurav, Damian	NOTES	A
5	Implement Renderers (JointContainers) in _NewItemProducer	Damian, Jim, Gaurav	Injected ContentItemRenderer into _NewItemProducer	S - Damian
6	Persist in _NewItemProducer	Damian, Jim, Gaurav	NOTES	S
7	Retrieval of existing SRG	Jim, Gaurav, Damian	Need to sync up with view generated by AHAH	A
8	Making sure order of items when created are same as when retrieved	Jim, Gaurav, Damian	NOTES	S
9	Citation helper integration	Steve, Jim, Damian, Gaurav	Jim roughed in a renderer for CitationList (either as link or inline)	A
10	Editing an existing guide	Gaurav, Jim, Damian	NOTES	S

Tasks remaining for Prototype (phase 1)

Task	Due	People	Status
Add to JS init method (srg.attachJS()) so that it attaches handlers to a fully-rendered research guide	28 Feb	Gaurav	started
Finish link editing in the author4.html template and Srg.js (no other tasks (persistence, rendering, etc.) depend on this)	28 Feb	Gaurav	started
XHTML cleanup - making sure the author4.html template creates compliant XHTML 1.0 (this is important for rendering content)	28 Feb	Gaurav	open
Inserting round-trip AHAH update notes in the Javascript (round-trip server call, bringing back content to insert in the DOM - notes indicate when/where this should happen)	28 Feb	Gaurav	done
Inserting one-way AJAX update notes in the Javascript (one-way server call, sending updated content to the server - notes indicate when/where this should happen)	28 Feb	Gaurav	done
Implementing round-trip AHAH updates (pulling XHTML content from the server into the DOM) can we break this down?		Damian All?	started
Implementing one-way AJAX updates (updating the database with content from the client) can we break this down?		Damian All?	started
Revising logic API's as needed to handle needs of AHAH producer to save changes made by user		Jim	open
Identifying which html elements produced by renderers need unique ID's		Gaurav	open
Getting renderers to provide unique ID's for html elements		Jim	open

What I'm working on

RSF Persistence

Creating/editing content items

RSF Rendering

Taking an existing guide (in the db) and presenting it
RSF Renderers for content items

Adding an attachment
- integration with Sakai filepicker
Adding a Citation List
- integration with Citations Helper

Authoring Template

template layout (HTML elements, CSS)
dynamic behaviors - creating/editing/removing content items (jQuery effects, manipulation, AJAX)

What I need from others

RSF Bindings

Direction on which XHTML snippets need to be run through RSF (AHAH)

What I provide to others

Javascript-generated XHTML for all content items
CSS layout for template

Questions

AHAH vs. simple AJAX load
Can we drop subsections for now?
- there are other things that might be better to work on: embedding a link in-line, drag-and-drop (via Lightbox)

Brainstorming and Action items from 12 Nov 2007

Data Object Class hierarchy (Damian)

SRG Docs contain Data Objects; all Data Objects have common attributes
- parent - what SRG document this is a part of
- position in parent - where in the document hierarchy does this object fit in
- title
- description
- etc. ...
SRG Data Object baseclass defines Data Objects
View SRG Data Object Class Diagram

More specific Data Objects (i.e. Citation Lists, Canned Searches, etc.) will subclass SRG Data Object baseclass

Overall technical diagram (Gaurav)

View SRG System Blueprint

Decision on where SRG functionality will live (Jim)

Perhaps consult overall Sakai Roadmap docs for guidance on future direction of "things" (docs, resources, etc.) in Sakai
Resources Helper vs. Own Tool vs. Outside Webapp integrated with Sakai vs. some combination of all

Top-level view of the authoring environment (for next week - 19 Nov)

A toolbar with actions in it
- Add a ... (Citation List, Canned Search, Link, etc...)
