Here is a list of projects in Sakai that coudl be done by a talented individual in a fixed period. All of these efforts are on Sakai’s long-term roadmap but none are on the short-term roadmap. Generally these are not in the “Sakai core” areas – they add functionality rather than trying to refactor existing mature technology so they can be done without requiring much coordination with the rest of Sakai.
\nEach of the tasks would be useful even if partially completed. Each of the tasks would naturally fit in a Sakai contrib area. Each of the tasks are relatively simple to describe at a high level but would require any individual to do a lot of research to figure things out. That individual should not expect to be “spoon fed” all the decisions and design – and just sit anc code. Part of the challenge is to truly figure out “what to do” and “how to do it”.
\nThe individual should expect reasonable mentoring to get high level questions answered but should expect to be looking at a lot of code in the beginning of the effort. A key aspect of the sumer of code is that people taking these tasks cannot be a “drag” on existing resources executing the short-term roadmap. High level mentoring can come from me and others and tactical mentoring should come from the Programmer’s Cafe group.
\nIf folks want more detail – let me know – I am perfectly happy to have an hour-long phone call with anyone who is ready to spend a sumer or more working on any of these tasks – but until a resource shows up – these will continue to sit on the back-burner.
\nAt least now I have a list. Someday I should put these into the requirements – but they are hardly “requirements” at this point – they are “things that would be cool to have”.<\/p>\n
