[WG: Sakai QA] VOTE REQUEST - SAK-15027 - inclusion in Sakai 2.6.0-rc05?

[May, Megan Marie]

+1

There's a fix for it and as Peter points out, it's a support nightmare.   We're moving to 2.6 on the 6th and already made the decision to merge in locally.

+1 to fix it for the release.

(I'm not sure what "criteria" keeps this one from being a Blocker?  Much like the unwanted resource notifications and drop-box notifications did in the past, this would cause lots of support incidents, and be a general headache for any organization with even moderate wiki usage in their deployment.)

Greetings,



Please chime in and vote on this issue SAK-15027<http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-15027>. It does fall out of our Blocker criteria, but as Matt points out since it was functional in past versions and is now broken perhaps that criteria doesn't apply here.



Please vote or comment on inclusion in Sakai 2.6.0-RC05

========================================



Matt's comments pertaining to this issue:



SAK-15027<http://jira.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-15027> (Wiki notifications are sent when they shouldn't be). Because of a security change that happened for 2.6, the preference check for rwiki notifications is ignored, so every page modification triggers a new notification to everyone in the site. This would be a major annoyance to any school that uses rwiki extensively (we do at Michigan).



It's a simple change which I've ran through all the notification tests for (as described in SAK-14298) and is something that worked correctly in all previous versions of 2.5.



=========================================



Thanks in advance,

Pete Peterson
