Potentially controversial items:

Brief Description

Implications or Concerns

Proposed Solution

Completed?

Send email feature

The permissions for who can send email are tied to section.role.ta and site.upd.  while forums doesn't use Sakai's Authz, is there a reason not to define a forums specific permission within Sakai's authz?

Implement forums.email permission

(error)

Display last activity time and sort by recent activity

Tried to view feature on qa1-nl and  am not seeing it or understanding it

Might be an easy clarification

(error)

Synoptic tool

Assumes both Messages and Forums are being used, so that Messages values are displayed even if the tool isn't deployed.

Provide some mechanism whereby if Messages is hidden or stealthed, then this column will not be calculated or appear in the display

(error)

UI changes

Presumably reduces training burden, but will force changes in user documentation

UI changes will be well documented in the independent Forums release.

(tick)

Mark messages read after "display all" is viewed

When you "display all" messages they aren't marked as read. This behavior has been confusing at a number of schools, it is non-standard discussion board behavior, but there is not a consensus that it is a problem.

"Display all" marks messages as read by default, so that the default behavior matches user expectations, but there is a property to optionally turn this off
