[DG: Teaching & Learning] [WG: End-User Support] [Fwd: Planning for Sakai 2.6]

[Noah Botimer]

A bit more detail on this issue...

There is already one paste-from-Word enhancement integrated into what  
will become the 2.6.0 release. This was addressed in http:// 
bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-13922.

We have also resolved the problem where empty editor contents yield  
<br /> tags as the input. This is resolved individually and could be  
merged independently to 2.6.x before the version upgrade, if desired.  
This is tracked in http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-15993.

The upgrade to FCKeditor 2.6.4 is being tracked in http:// 
bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-15994. It resolves some  
additional issues and will require additional verification. The  
tentative plan is to include it in the trunk/nightly servers where  
others can try it out before pulling it into 2.6.x, whatever the  
eventual release may be.

As Peter notes, we are testing both of these changes together now.  
This is on a 2.6.x server and we are testing with real students as  
well as development/support/QA staff. All testing has passed so far  
without noted problems. We currently plan to launch the upgrade  
institution wide at the beginning of May, after our Winter finals.

Thanks,
-Noah
