  2. Sakai/OSP Maintenance Status (Bug fixes can be verified on the following QA servers Nightly Build (HSQLDB) or Nightly build (Oracle))
    • SAK-18766 Erratic Stickiness of Group and User, No page update after Manage Status in Matrices tool (UMICH)
    • SAK-19443Unable to add Evaluators/Reviewers to Wizard pages and Matrix cells (IU)
    • SAK-19690 - Linking posted assignments to published matrix cells throws an error. Chris will be looking at it.
    • SAK-19643 - Alan Berg reported something as a blocker, but it may be working as intended. On startup, system will send out an email
  3. Sakai Development Status (next major release cycle)
    • SAK-19184 OSP Tools don't respect language/locale preferences (only when english is not the default locale) - Part 2. Noah working on a better solution than the existing patch.
    • SAK-16693 Roster Synchronization (pending adding optional flag, branch, test server review and trunk merge). IU hopes to get it into 2.9, but it has fallen on the back burner.
    • IU issue they want to tackle: No way to filter on shared portfolios. Names not in alphabetical order, and no grouping. VTech has sites with 1500 students, but will have bigger ones coming up. At VTech the portfolios page is sortable. Implemented by Unicon? Maybe could be shared with the community. There is group awareness in the Evaluations tool.
    • IU issue they want to tackle: Coordinators cannot see unpublished forms. Especially a problem in the Portfolios Template tool, because the the template can end up getting saved without the Portfolio Options form if the Portfolio Options form was invisible to the person who opened the template.
  4. On the back burner
    • Independent OSP release cycle: action items moving forward. No news.
