Sakai VetMed Developer's Meeting

Scott - Working on the evaluation tool with Phil. The goal is to generate view, add and edit add evaluation form templates. Moving past Hibernate issues; dropped development in Facelets - not mature enough; now using JSF. Chris is doing the wireframing and use cases.

Beau - Has solution for hostname for cere.ucdavis.edu and vetmed.ucdavis.edu - will hot deploy. Production database to replace my.vetmed is up; some replication data collisions; new db will manage Sakai production data currently on sakai db and my; will need to restart Tomcat to point to new db. Considering MySQL 4 --> 5 migration once satisfactorily tested on Sakai Collab QA servers. MySQL 5 is generally accepted now, however, Linux 4 uses MySQL 4 as its default db version. Until the RedHat default is on v5, may choose to use v5 over the Linux default.

Chris - Asked to add instructor performance over time to current performance screens; currently flushing out use cases for eval. Moving scheduling information from Ilios to CERE is in design discussion phase.

Keith - Added directors & admins to Ilios.

Ray - Saw a demo of Degree Navigator at Registrar's office. Navigator is used for undergrad students - not professional students at this time. Need further discussion with Registrar's office to determine if it can meet DVM student needs. If so, would need to define degree paths to make it DVM students specific. Possibly need to provide funding; the app is written in ASP.
Also, contacted other Davis Schools re: what they use for student degree needs; SIS system tracks courses taken, but not future path needs.

Dave - Rick has Captivate movies all recorded, with some in editing.
For content migration - cleaning up content on sites prior to migration, identifying difficult content which will require CALF assistance (10-20% estimate of total content). Will need to coordinate with campus storage plans after AFS decision is made.
