Vancouver Notes

These are my raw notes for my Vancouver talk. Not everything made it in. This has no meaning - just wanted to put this in before I cleaned up my desktop.

Deploy one release back - Pilots or strong sites can stick with the release
Should we move from June December to April/October?
Performance tuning - instead of expansion.

The rule for 2.2 release is that code must compile run reliably on both 1.4 and 1.5 - we encourage sites to use 1.5 for Sakai 2.2 for testing over the summer and then in use 1.5 production in the Fall.  Sometime in the Fall (like October 1), based on production experience, we may open the gates on 1.5-only code - but when that happens there will be a dev list discussion about it.

Sakai 2.2 Notes

OSP Code freeze wants to happen February 17. This could crimp our style quite a bit. Because OSP needs to take trunk at that time because it needs changes in Sakai that are not present in 2.1. The problem is that if we allow the Sakai trunk to move forward wildly towards a 2.2 release (as you see below) significant non-upwards compatible work needs to happen including things that are database changes.

For OSP to release its 2.1, we will have to develop conversion scripts for any of the Sakai elements which have changed and it will effectively *be* Sakai 2.2 - we will have to QA all of Sakai at some level because people will instlall *that* release, expecting Sakai parts to work.

Gradebook Improvements

Samigo Improvements

Provisional: MailTool
- Section Aware

Provisional: Lancaster Blog, Video, Audio, Whiteboard, screen share

Improve Accessibility
--Merging the title and content frames from Portal
--Identifying how we can make JSF widgets 508/Priority One and Two compliant

Web Services IP Filter borrowed from WSRP

Versioning for resources

Internal DR Search by building internal DR OSID

Unit Test Framework

Provisional: JSR-168 portlet - build portlet.war files as part of the Sakai build.

Finish up IMS Enterprise Provider

Provisional: Integrate Melete

Provisional: Integrate JFrorum

Provisional: Add the LAMS Integration tool to the Sakai Release

Provisional: IMS Tool Interoperability

JSR-168/WSRP CSS Alignment

SCORM - Figure things out

Rutgers Access Mods
User alias
Site alias (perhaps even add to Charon)

EntityType Registry

Resources Tool
- Refactor into helpers
- Make popup for

Make DuplicatableTool a general capability (see OSP)

Hierarchy
Framework / Portal / Site Info

Clean up section management and groups - try to come up with wholistic approach - at least try to see if helpers make sense.

Section aware tools
- Decide which
- Design
- Implement

WSYWIG Pluggable

Import/Export - Make work at minimum - perfer to switch to IMS Content Packaging

WSRP - Portal View in addition to tool view.

Provsional: WSRP Consumer from Daresbury

JAR Version Advance
- Hibernate 3
- Spring 1.2
- Others

Clever URLs for tools (use the tool ID not the GUID)

Integrate Lucene - Sakai Search
