[sakai-pmc] Summary and Feedback - Sakai core team meeting - April 24 2014

[sakai-dev, sakai-core-team, sakai-pmc]

Hey all,

We had a meaty meeting today [1]. It went quite a bit over time but we 
had some great discussions. Of course we want to hear from the community 
on our discussions and especially on item "d", Cacheing status.

a) Subversion ALM - I am going to ask Wush to revert to the standard 
Jira Subversion tab.

b) UVa (University of Virginia) opened some tickets with respect to the 
Syllabus improvements in Sakai 10. We didn't see any blockers [2].  
Discussion welcome (please make sure to include the sakai-dev list, at a 
minimum).

c) OSP - there is one OSP ticket, which while not classified as a 
blocker, there seemed to be consensus that we do want to get this fixed 
for the Sakai 10 release [3]. Earle N. thinks he may have a patch for 
this and is investigating.

d) Cacheing status - quite a bit of discussion on this set of Jiras 
[4].  It seems like there is consensus that these changes are a big 
benefit for the Sakai community. The question is focusing on whether 
some existing caches should be deleted or not (alias callCache, rwiki 
cache, citations), especially given how far along we are in the Sakai 10 
release process (at QA06 and probably just one iteration away from a 
Release candidate).

Feedback requested - To move forward the suggestion is that we document 
which caches are to be removed and we gather some stats from around the 
community and have the community have the final say. If the stats show 
that the caches are detrimental, remove them, otherwise we might need to 
keep them for now.

e) LTI merge from trunk [5] - the LTI version in trunk and in Sakai 
branch are both LTI 2.  However, the consensus seems to be that the 
version in trunk has had more testing. The proposal is to use the trunk 
version and move it into Sakai 10.0-qa07.  The most likely impact seems 
like it will be to the Lessons tool. Chuck Hedrick is going to 
investigate the trunk version of LTI with Lessons and post his findings. 
If they are positive we plan to proceed.

f) QA07 schedule - the plan is to release QA07 the week of May 5 - 9.   
As a pre-requisite, at our next Sakai core team meeting, we will be 
reviewing outstanding issues that need QA testing and some issues in the 
blocker/critical unresolved list to make sure we have accounted for all 
blockers (which should be a given) and consider other important fixes we 
need to get in. Plus, as you can see above, we want to have time to get 
OSP, Cacheing, and LTI resolved. (In addition I think there may be a 
little work left in audio recording and online help, which are both 
really cool btw. I mean, of course cacheing is cool, but I'm guessing 
that users aren't going to ooh and aah over it ;-) ) [6]
