(document status - just being born...not even first draft yet)
This set of requirements derives from the usage scenarios supplied by the participants in the 1-3 March 2006 kickoff meeting in Ann Arbor, Michigan (need link to this material).
Requirements are divided into the following categories.
- User Requirements - things users would like to be able to do, subdivided by user category (e.g., student, instructor, librarian)
- Functional Requirements - should flow from and reference user requirements; things the software system needs to be able to do
- Technical Requirements - requirements about how things need to be implemented; these should support user requirements, but they sometimes derive from other sources, such as the Sakai community's decision to use a particular technology
User Requirements
Note: Where user categories are not specifically identified (i.e., where this says "users can..." instead of "instructors can..." or "librarians can..."), the implication is that the task is broadly useful to most or all categories of user.
