VetMed Developer's Meeting

4/25/07

Planning for 2.4 Migration

Scott - Reviewing course management and adaptation to VetMed feed; working on data provider and import functions.
Beau is reviewing the database migration paths.
Ray - suggests investigating the external view being used by campus sakai.
Goal is to get a working version up by the end of the quarter to allow time for training preparation. Need to update a 2.4 version with CERE skins for training materials.

Chris - Do we intend to set up the full list of courses for Fall 2007 as with previous quarters? Current plans are to pre-populate courses each quarter.

EVAL

Phil - Working out some minor eval issues with Chris; working on JSF issues to return user to desired location on the screen.
Chris suggests trying out the FireBug tool; noted that ColdFire is a cool tool for CF debug info.
Ray - wrap up current evaluation development by end of quarter (in 5-6 weeks)? Phil - Enhancements for Phase 1 completed by then, unsure about deliverables for phases 2 and 3.

Training

Rick - What is the policy for rollover and archiving of existing courses (and their materials)?
Chris - Since courses may be created programmatically, either all content or none must be copied. There is a risk of staleness or of students accessing the course materials before faculty as ready to release them. Copy functions are different in v2.4.

Miscellaneous

Ask Michael if he's ready to demo his stats - Chris would be interested to see
