[Building Sakai] [Using Sakai] Resources Changes for Sakai 11

[David Minugh]

Re: Webdav discussion

As an end user, with a lot of colleagues who are end users, I agree with those looking for transparency. Upload-etc is admittedly longer, but is much easier to understand than "webdav" (a technical term) or "desktop access", which sounds to me like a link back to my PC's desktop (like the W7 shortcut in the lower right corner), and certainly doesn't suggest to me that it has anything to do with file up/downloads. The illustration below seems like a nice compromise.
   Our teachers still vary enormously in how much they know about Sakai, and there are always new staff (and students) arriving, so transparency is an important, if elusive virtue.

All sounds good.



We have placed a link "Recycle Bin" on every page of resources, it would be great to have the folder structure visible when users visit the page. I would argue for  "Recycle Bin" above "Trash" as I think people understand the term better.

You will see we have also inserted the string "webdav" into the label so have "Upload-Download Multiple Resources (WebDAV) " .



I have no qualms about changing this to "Desktop Access (webdav)".

Hi all,



The University of Michigan is working on a series of small to moderate Resources tool enhancements for Sakai 11 (looking forward), and I wanted to bring them to your attention as well as for your opinions:



SAK-25709 Create option to hide/show columns in the Resources tool for a cleaner display based on user feedback we've received

SAK-25668 Show soft-deleted files in a separate "trash" section, that includes the parent folder structure

SAK-25766 Relabel button from 'Upload-Download Multiple Resources' to 'Desktop Access'



The last JIRA is the smallest, but possibly the most contentious, since it involves a change in terminology. We propose changing the Resources  'Upload-Download Multiple Resources' button to 'Desktop Access'. The thought is that this will provide a better (and shorter) label for users, as well as differentiating it from the cool new drag-n-drop UI that is available in Sakai 10 (SAK-22306).



Please let me know if you have any concerns with this relabeling - as with all UI strings in Sakai, you can always localize this string for your own institution in a properties file. Barring any objections, we'll commit this small change next week.



Thanks,

- Beth
