Bhaskarth1a: i think this is easier to user06:07
th1aok06:07
Bhaskarth1a: if you feel better for this approach,for testing i 'll send nepali po and mo, so we can switch either nepali and english06:10
th1aWell, i don't know when we'll actually change the code.06:11
Bhaskarth1a: i think , you will make plan for that, according to your schedule , you can06:12
th1ai can ask the developers.06:13
Bhaskarth1a: well,06:13
Bhaskarth1a: i think schooltool is distributed system, but now there is no such provision , right?06:15
th1ahm?06:16
Bhaskarth1a: i m wrong?06:17
th1adistributed in what way?06:17
Bhaskarth1a: many client can access from a single server sharing memory...06:18

ignashmm13:20
ignasall the important backports have been performed anyway i think13:20
ignasand yes, it seems that i have no permission to assign a bug to myself13:21

ignasth1a: ayt?17:53
th1aignas: Yes.17:53
ignasi think i'll get a vis17:54
ignasvisa17:54
ignasi am getting my pasport back tomorow17:54
ignaspassport17:54
th1aExcellent.17:54
ignasand i went to meet with lyceum people17:54
ignashad a quite enlightening meeting.17:55
th1aYes?17:56
*** wdickers has joined #schooltool17:56
ignaswell apparently the task i am facing is quite different from the one Jfroche is17:57
ignasfor US or Belgium schools schooltool is a replacement for some existing systems that people are already using17:58
ignaswhile in lyceum schooltool is the first one17:58
th1aYes.17:58
ignasthus they want to integrate schooltool very slowly17:58
ignasbecause there are a lot of innertion not to use anything, etc.17:59
th1aYes.17:59
ignasthus all the complexity reducing changes, module removal etc.17:59
ignasas well as lack of reusable parts17:59
ignasa non user friendly enough component just won't be used by teachers who already do not really want to use the system ...18:00
ignasso they want me to put more focus on schedules, Advisor teacher role, calendaring as these can be used by teachers more easily18:01
ignasthey don't want to give accounts to students and to elevate privileges of non authenticated people as well18:02
th1aThat was the original plan with doing calendaring first ;-)18:02
ignasbecause well - someone would have to manage passwords, data etc.18:02
th1aYes.18:02
ignaswhile having a public schedule  (not calendar) for every class in the school is a real and very active pain at the moment18:03
ignasthe school is very Student + Teaching focused, thus the system will have to cope with quite a mess ;)18:03
th1aWhat do you mean by Student + Teaching focused?18:04
ignasth1a: having a huge mess in the paperwork :)18:04
ignaslike - schedules being finalized only 1 month since the beginning of the school year18:04
ignas"after" not "since" i guess18:05
th1aOh.  Constantly changing.18:05
ignasfor a month18:05
ignasyes18:05
th1aOK.18:05
th1aWell, these are real problems.18:05
th1aLyceum isn't the only one that has them.18:06
th1aI think probably we'll want to have a small number of interested teachers test some of the other functionality as well.18:06
ignasindeed, Computer Science teachers are getting accounts soon18:07
ignasand then a lot of link hiding will follow18:07
ignasand then i'll work on schedule views for groups and probably persons18:08
th1aAh.  OK, that's good.18:08
ignasso that students could see their schedules (public anyway) without logging in18:08
ignasand then, group calendars that collect timetable events from all the persons in the group18:09
ignasso that students without accounts could still see assignments18:09
th1aOK.  These are good use cases.18:09
ignasthe idea is to have teachers using the system first18:09
ignasand at the moment Schooltool is pretty closed up if you don't have a log in18:10
ignasour attendance being student based will have to be reworked18:11
ignasi am even thinking that starting with something very simple from scratch would be easier18:11
ignasbecause well - they don't need a lot of baggage that is in schooltool.attendance18:12
th1aignas: If you think that will be best, go for it.18:12
th1aI definitely inflicted some baggage on attendance.18:12
ignaswell, it is useful for a US / GB scenario18:13
ignasi have yet to think what to do about roles as well ...18:15
ignasteachers should not have a link to attendance of their own18:15
ignasor to their schedule18:15
ignasscheduling view i mean18:15
ignasand the summer will be spent on rehearsing a new school year :)18:16
ignasok, going home early, had a very long day...18:18
ignasbye18:18
