[sakai-pmc] Feedback requested - Sakai 10 features list

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Megan,

A better wording for item b is 

b) Yale Signup tool - if a proposal is submitted and approved, on or off by default ? 

And perhaps we should have whether it is on or off be part of whatever proposal is made.

I sent a proposal out yesterday for the Sakai 10 schedule to sakai-dev and sakai-pmc [1]. Does that not qualify as being circulated ? 

We had schedules floating around from discussions, and this is an attempt to firm things up. That’s why we’ve extended the date for proposals to December 13. Previous discussions, which also were on the sakai-dev list, had the date as December 6.  

What I’m trying to accomplish is to tie off loose ends so that there is clarity around what is in scope for Sakai 10 and what is not in scope.

How can those two things happen at the same time?    And then there is the schedule . . . . which hasn’t really been circulated but has a cutoff date of the 13th.

Seems like there should be that final feedback loop to the community, and that we should post to Confluence. Sound right? I am happy to help administratively but not necessarily something I should initiate. Does that make sense? Hope I am not splitting hairs, just wanting to avoid stepping on each other’s toes.
