[Building Sakai] Working toward a Message and Forums Release

[Sam Ottenhoff]

Hi Megan,

These are all great improvements for the Messages & Forums tool. One 
issue that we continually see in bug reports is the lack of text-length 
validation in titles and textareas. This shows up in emailed bug reports 
as fatal data truncation errors. I have just added a patch to the 
first-reported issue at

<http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-10503> 
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-10503

Can we add this item to the list of items under consideration?

Thanks,

Sam
