  • Jon
    1. Tried to figure out how to approach refactor of gradebook for 2.2. Also, started on merging code from ADL for edition 3 of the SCORM code. Looks like a prickly pear.
    2. Today is a continuation of that.
    3. Nope.
    4. Task: refactor gradebook code.
    5. Nope.
  • Scott
    1. Yesterday: getting stuff coordinated for provider testing today.
    2. Today started that testing with Pat this morning. Instead of starting with Banner updates, started testing from scratch, logging in/not logging in thru secure. Got to realm refresh and group provider tests and then Scott noticed that the Authz refresh code that Jon contributed was not in the test branch. Thomas rectified. Pat will return 3:30pm or 4pm, doublecheck that. Then, another weird scenario we just found. Dunno if it's related to authz refresh, but James is in integration test. Added adhoc James and Thomas to external database. Pat noticed that James was still registered as a student. Thomas was not. Refresh authz was not in there. Thomas had logged in today. James did not.
    3. Nope.
    4. Task: mark provider authz as a bug. Analyze what's in trunk now.
    5. Brought in some books for everybody.
  • Brian

    4. Info about uportal being in the works for campus.
    5. Nope.
  • Lisa
    1. Spent the last 24 hours troubleshooting. Having a major problem with the setup for 2.1.x in Eclipse workspace. Actually got import question pool code mostly working except that questions aren't being saved to the pool. Eclipse problem: not finding classpath. Help!
    2. ditto.
    3. ditto.
    4. Sandra sent a bunch of emails with new stories, 4 are assigned to Lisa.
    5. Vet Med meeting: Scott Fishbein and Bo are going to look at what's involved in refactoring code for 2.2. Scott wanted to talk to Scott about data providers. He's aware that there's a short window of time in which to talk. Kirk said to talk to Thomas.
  • James
    1. Today and yesterday, working on addSite.
    2. ditto.
    3. Impediment, unable to add a site then immediately view without bringing down the instance. "Site Not Found".
    4. Nope.
