| Travis_ | does schooltool support ldap? | 07:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Travis_ | like does it create and ldap account? | 07:17 |
| th1a | Not yet. | 07:18 |
| th1a | We'll have that sometime in the next six months or so. | 07:18 |

| Travis_ | sorry | 07:19 |

| Travis_ | bumped it | 07:19 |
| Travis_ | ok | 07:19 |
| Travis_ | I am gonna try out schooltool | 07:19 |
| Travis_ | I love what your doing | 07:19 |
| Travis_ | its a great idea | 07:19 |
| th1a | Thanks. | 07:19 |
| Travis_ | ldap would be great so when you add a student it creates a ldap account for the user to use to login to the computer system | 07:20 |
| th1a | Certainly. | 07:20 |
| th1a | We just haven't gotten to it yet. | 07:20 |
| Travis_ | awesome | 07:21 |
| Travis_ | hopefully once this is complete someone creates a server distro that comes with schooltool and has ldap + smbdomain and mail etc. already setup | 07:22 |
| th1a | Well, there is Edubuntu, which is also funded by Mark Shuttleworth, so we work pretty closely with them. | 07:26 |
| th1a | I think there is a pretty good chance we'll have something like that. | 07:27 |
| * th1a is getting back to watching Battlestar Galactica. | 07:28 | |
| th1a | Nice chatting with you Travis_ | 07:28 |
| Travis_ | yeah | 07:29 |
| Travis_ | I was just chatting in the edubuntu channel | 07:29 |
| Travis_ | where I found out about this | 07:29 |
| th1a | They've been sending a few people over here lately. | 07:33 |
| Travis_ | will schooltool be pluggable? | 07:42 |
| Travis_ | for plugins | 07:42 |
| th1a | SchoolTool is mega-pluggable. | 08:28 |
| th1a | In the source tree there is an example plug-in. | 08:28 |
| th1a | It is a "commendation" plug-in, Travis_. | 08:29 |
| Travis_ | sweet | 08:30 |
| Travis_ | a food service plugin with a point of sale app would be awesome | 08:30 |
| Travis_ | there is a similar app called Centre its free but the plugins cost thousands | 08:31 |
| Travis_ | and it really sucks without the plugins | 08:31 |
| Travis_ | and its ugly | 08:31 |
| th1a | The main reason we're using Zope 3 is because it has a great component architecture. | 08:31 |
| th1a | Yeah, Centre isn't any sort of community project. | 08:31 |
| th1a | It is nice that they make the core code open, but they don't take it beyond that. | 08:32 |
| Travis_ | I am install linux on my spare box right now and will try out schooltool soon | 08:32 |
| th1a | Let us know how it goes. | 08:33 |
| th1a | We put a development snapshot up last week. You should try that or a svn checkout if you're interested in the stuff beyond calendaring. | 08:33 |
| Travis_ | thats this right? | 08:34 |
| Travis_ | http://www.schooltool.org/products/schooltool-2006 | 08:34 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 08:35 |
| Travis_ | k | 08:35 |
| Travis_ | so when this product matures it will be a full Student Information System | 08:39 |
| Travis_ | able todo grading | 08:39 |
| Travis_ | and generate report cards etc/ | 08:39 |
| th1a | Yes. | 08:39 |
| th1a | We've got a simple gradebook running in the development trunk now. | 08:39 |
| Travis_ | is that on the snapshot on that page? | 08:40 |
| th1a | No. | 08:40 |
| Travis_ | where could I get that? | 08:40 |
| th1a | The gradebook stuff was mostly done last week. | 08:40 |
| Travis_ | oh | 08:40 |
| Travis_ | I will just try the core first then | 08:40 |
| th1a | svn checkout from http://source.schooltool.org | 08:40 |
| th1a | I'm going to bed now. | 08:41 |
| th1a | Good night. | 08:42 |
| Travis_ | k | 08:42 |
| Travis_ | later | 08:42 |

| srichter | th1a: are you there? | 18:44 |
| th1a | srichter: I'm here. | 19:05 |
| srichter | th1a: I just sent you an E-mail | 19:05 |
| srichter | I am done with the gradebook | 19:05 |
| th1a | I see. Excellent. | 19:05 |
| th1a | I'll take a look at it later. | 19:05 |
| srichter | probably the important part of this work was the refinement of the requirement package | 19:06 |
| srichter | I hope Paul is happ with those changes too | 19:06 |
| th1a | Yeah, that's not surprising. | 19:06 |
| srichter | no, it was not | 19:06 |
| th1a | We told you that was the hard part. | 19:06 |
| th1a | Once you get those right, everything else is easy. | 19:06 |
| srichter | but I put a lot of work into it; especially into the scoresystem and its widget | 19:07 |
| th1a | Yes, scoresystems, too. | 19:07 |
| srichter | over time I think we will refine the gradebook API as well | 19:07 |
| th1a | There'll be more to do on scoresystems, too. | 19:07 |
| srichter | yep | 19:08 |
| th1a | Well, I'm relieved that the gradebook stuff went quickly. | 19:09 |
| th1a | Amazing how fast things can go when they aren't tied into calendaring... | 19:09 |
| srichter | yep :-) | 19:10 |
| th1a | Although, we'll have to have activities show up in the appropriate calendars soon. | 19:11 |
| th1a | I cut you some slack on that one. | 19:12 |
| srichter | thanks :-) | 19:12 |
| srichter | do we have the concept of all-day events? | 19:13 |
| srichter | also, is the API for adding new events well-defined? Is it just some registration? | 19:13 |
| th1a | Presumably the API for adding new events is well-defined. | 19:13 |
| th1a | We're both afraid of calendaring. | 19:14 |
| srichter | he he | 19:14 |
| srichter | I certainly am | 19:14 |
| th1a | It isn't that POV hasn't done a good job on calendaring. | 19:15 |
| th1a | It is just scary. | 19:15 |
| srichter | no, of course not | 19:17 |
| srichter | calendaring is just a complex topic | 19:17 |
| srichter | and it is hard to predict on how you want to use it | 19:17 |
| srichter | since it is so multi-purpose | 19:18 |
| th1a | I hope we can use some of the calendaring machinery eventually to do things like repeating assignments (quiz every Friday, etc.). | 19:18 |
| srichter | ok | 19:20 |
| srichter | the gradebook implementation would have to change quiet a bit to accommedate that | 19:20 |
