[Building Sakai] Sakai Community Fork of Mneme (Test Center)

[Mark Breuker]

Hi Beth,

We are maintaining a locally modified version of Mneme so would be interested in a community-led branch. Most modifications we have are to support high stakes testing (exams) so we would have to see if those changes would be usable for others.

Most important reason for us to stick with Mneme for now is because all our question content is in there. Not sure if it can be easily migrated to Samigo? If it is we might consider it because our developers find Amrosia is really hard to work with.

Cheers,

Mark

I tend to agree that this is not the ideal approach, but I'm trying to be practical. We're currently looking at both Samigo and Test Center to see which will be the best option for us moving forward, but the reality is we already have a forked version of Test Center and I was curious who else did, and if there was a better way to manage these forked versions as a community.

What I envision is an mneme branch that interested institutions (including UM) would manage by adding new features & bug fixes, and also regularly synchronize with the ETudes branch for new features & bug fixes developed there. The Etudes source tree would continue to be owned and managed by Etudes, but the Sakai branch would be owned and managed by the Sakai community, with broader svn commit rights to participating institutions.
