Prominent bugs and tasks in the Foundation and UCDavis JIRAs

List of Sakai Foundation Open Tasks that seem relevant:

The tasks are much less inclusive that the feature requests -- only 12 out there at the moment, but there are a few that might have a significant impact, listed below

List of Sakai Foundation Feature Requests that seem relevant:

There are a large number (88) of feature requests. This is a short list of ones that seem particularly interesting.

Potential showstoppers...

List of collab JIRA bugs that seem relevant:

These are a subset of the bugs marked "Major" that seemed to raise issues that we will probably end up having to confront if they are not solved to our satisfaction (JLR)

SAK-6790 Samigo user ids too short
SAK-6692 Various problems clicking too fast
SAK-6553 Dbl-click issue w/ high stakes quizzes (similar to 6692)
SAK-6610 Problem with HTML tag questions
SAK-6369 Graders can't see full text of some questions
SAK-5408 Grading prob when no questions answered
SAK-5323 Add part takes > 30 secs to load
SAK-4596 Gradebook interaction exception
SAK-4279 Unexpected behavior when quiz time runs out in Netscape
SAK-2297 File upload questions don't work with clustering

The big takeaways from the bugs I've listed above seem to be issues of (a) performance, (b) bulletproofing of user experience, (c) browser inconsistencies, and (d) interaction with gradebook. It might be possible that we could solve at least the (c) class of problem by limiting use of this tool to Firefox – this would be possible with fairly minor code changes, I imagine.

What's encouraging is that a lot of the bugs marked "Open" have actually been fixed according to developer comments, though of course they often haven't been tested. However, the developers on the project seem to be very on top of the bugs that are coming up.
