06-Jun-2007 The Accessibility Working Group is readying Confluence for the next cycle of accessibility evaluation and testing. The tentative dates for reviewing Sakai 2.4 are from June 23 to July 20, with a kick-off meeting June 23 at 10:30. During the last review period, thirty-five reviews were done by the accessibility team at Indiana University!

Our focus right now is on the following:

• Create a community of current K-12 Sakai users
• Develop a method of sharing K-12 resources
• Develop a CLE model where students throughout the world can engage each other in an safe "walled garden" environment
• Explore opportunities to further develop the K-12 Sakai community

Centralized Performance Testing Goals

Limited progress has been made to date, however designing a "generic" (non-campus-branded) Sakai testing environment continues to be the primary goal of the working group.

In the meantime, organizations involved in performance testing are encouraged to share their testing scripts, plans, and results on the WG:Performance Confluence site.

University of Michigan is working on a proof of concept of such a generic testing environment, when not busy actively conducting tests for campus needs. Thus far we have a working 2.4 Sakai build and are busy using Alan Berg's provisioning scripts to populate it with sites and tools. This phase is expected to involve some script tuning to get the right combination of data input and output to enable iterative testing.

Other campuses continue working independently on developing tests to meet campus requirements.
