Date/Time: Thursday, June 9, 2:30 p.m. Location: Davidge Room Leader: Zach Thomas
Purpose
Avoid duplication of effort on dealing with feature gaps.
Common gaps:
Data issues import/export
Email tool (Steve Gibbons already working)
Reporting tool (planned for Sakai 2.5)
Groups (planned feature in Sakai 2.1 - possibly October/November)
Content view/layout
Discussion Tool (collect, lock/unlock, anonymous post, archiving)
Renaming Buttons
Gradebook
Course Cartridge support (this may take a while)
To avoid cookie and uPortal problem, it was suggested loading the blackboard login page in the background (or a hidden iFrame) and immediately redirect to portal login. This will properly set the cookie.
Readiness survey (readiness of system, not the faculty)

Yup. I haven't gotten a chance to work on in the last couple weeks because I've been busy at work, but it's next in my queue of "tools to move from 1.5 to 2.0"
I had gotten a few emails previously from people saying they wanted to modify it, before I go to much farther, has anybody forked it or added something that I could merge back into it?
It will probably take me 2-3 weeks to get around to having this work well in 2.0 and iron out some of the annoying problems.
