[WG: Sakai QA] Additional Sakai 10 property questions

[Neal Caidin]

Hi All,

By default, we are now turning on features by default [a]. However, in 
QA testing we ran into a few properties that are not turned on by 
default and prevented us from verifying some Jiras.

1) Proposal: Turn on ical.experimental to true by default, and change 
the name to calendar.ical.enabled ?  This seemed to be the sense of 
folks attending the Sakai release team meeting. It appears to have been 
in experimental status for about 5 years [b]

2) Keep enableSitePresences at org.sakaiproject.sitestats.api.StatsManager 
off by default? Turning it on would also require 
display.users.present=true [c].  There were mixed comments about whether 
to turn this on by default. The concern raised is that this has 
potential performance and security issues, which based on our criteria 
would mean that this should stay off by default.

3) serverWideStatsEnabled at org.sakaiproject.sitestats.api.StatsManager 
keep default off?   Couldn't find much documentation on this one [d]



[a] Decision for Properties : "We plan on turning on all new features 
for Sakai 10 in source code, by default, except for features with 
performance or security concerns, or settings which are too ambiguous to 
guess at a standard need across institutions."

[b] ical.experimental -
