[sakai-core-team] Reminder by Thursday - Re: Samigo Tests (and quizzes) Enhancement Project - Feedback Requested from Core Team

[Matthew Jones]

I was thinking that even if you *just* focused on the cleaning up and
committing the existing patches on the list (of which there are about
10-20) it would probably take up all of the time that's available. I'm sure
you could spend an equal amount of time working on improving performance if
you had the right person. So it's going likely be an either or.

I just looked at some of the Dayton tickets and for instance the ticket
SAM-1408 has the comment
"However, the manner in which this was developed means there will probably
need to be some further development before this works in out-of-the-box
Sakai."

And the Longsight jira at SAM-1263 still has outstanding work of providing
import export and there's a known bug if you have multiple areas to respond
to that would need to be looked at and fixed.

So just getting in these 2 patches alone is going to be at *least* a day's
work, possibly more.

I think the best use of time would be getting in these existing patches
though.
