yvlth1a, are you around?16:21
th1ahi yvl.16:23
th1aI think home is probably a good idea.16:23
yvloh, thanks16:24
yvlthat's a huge relief16:24
* yvl was really afraid to try that out16:24
yvlI was thinking - maybe I should spend Monday just clicking over everything with teacher / clerk / student16:25
yvland adjusting breadcrumb and link permissions?16:25
yvlor I can fix func. tests16:26
th1ayvl:  Sure.16:28
th1aI mean, click around.16:28
yvlkk16:28
* yvl is just constantly awed how ST looks like a finished product nowadays16:28
th1aIt is pretty funny.16:31
th1aCompared to what it was.16:31
th1aIt is almost like we know what we're doing now.16:32
yvlright!16:32
yvlby the way, a nitpick on Interventions:16:37
yvl  Intervention tab not implemented (broken) when school is not fully set up.  It would be best if it was hidden intelligently, like the Gradebook tab nowadays.16:38
yvlalso:16:38
yvlDone links broken when looking at intervention messages or goals from intervention tab.16:38
yvldo an intervention for a student, send a message to, say, teacher03016:39
yvllog in as teacher030, hit Interventions16:39
yvlclick on a message, click Done16:39
th1ayvl:  Yes.16:40
yvlapologies if I'm repeating myself16:40
th1aTo be honest, there was enough extra complexity rolled into Interventions -- because that's how SLA wanted it -- that it was off-putting even to me.16:41
th1aIt is much cleaner and accessible now, so we should find more bugs.16:41
* yvl agrees16:43
yvlthey've gotten so much better, that even I can understand them now ;)16:43
th1aIt is funny -- there were just a couple little things there that made it seem much more complicated that weren't necessary at all (although they were helpful to SLA's particular workflow).16:46
yvlit is indeed amazing how certain small changes can complicate - or make something way simpler16:48
yvlwell, it's time to go home16:49
* yvl leaves for a weekend... great job this release guys!16:49
yvllooking forward for alpha ;)16:50
th1aThanks yvl!16:56
th1aGee, not having a meeting really opens up the morning!17:15

th1areplaceafill:  /database needs a title.19:42

replaceafillth1a http://69.164.203.135:6660/database.html21:46
replaceafillServer Database21:46
replaceafillis that ok?21:47
th1ay21:47
replaceafillk21:47
th1aOh, spanish.21:47
th1aYou confused me for a sec.21:48
replaceafill:)21:48
th1aI guess I should have put a WiT in worksheets.21:49
replaceafillwe did21:50
th1aI don't see it.21:50
replaceafillUse worksheets in your gradebook the same way you do in a spreadsheet, to...21:50
th1a(I thought we did)21:50
replaceafillhttp://69.164.203.135:6660/schoolyears/2008-2009/2008-fall/sections/science_a_2008-fall_teacher001_004/activities/21:50
replaceafillteacher00121:50
th1aOH!21:50
th1aHm.21:50
th1aWeird.21:51
replaceafillyou don't see it in your instance?21:51
replaceafillput English back in my testing instance...21:52
th1aI do now.21:52
th1aMaybe I'm on crack.21:52
replaceafill:D21:52
replaceafillth1a http://69.164.203.135:7777/persons/camila/gradebook.html22:14
replaceafillcamila:camila22:14
replaceafillthat's the old student view of the journal22:14
replaceafillit lists all the sections you're enrolled in the term22:15
th1aI've probably never looked at it!22:15
replaceafillhttp://69.164.203.135:6660/schoolyears/2008-2009/2008-fall/sections/science_a_2008-fall_teacher001_000/journal22:15
replaceafillteacher00122:15
replaceafilli was thinking that if we keep the same layout, i should remove the Section selector, right?22:16
replaceafillleaving just Term and Year22:16
replaceafillfor the new view22:16
replaceafilli mean, for the student view22:16
th1aUm... I've never thought about it.22:17
th1aRealistically it doesn't need to look like this at all.22:17
th1aOr... ok, I guess it does if you're Lithuanian.22:18
replaceafillis it ok if we have a journal student view with just one row per section?22:18
replaceafill(in case we allow the student to select the Section)22:19
th1aI don't understand how what you're describing is different than what I'm looking at.22:19
replaceafillthe student would only see his/her attendance (one single row) in the worksheet22:19
replaceafilloh sorry, im talking about the flourish version of the student journal view22:20
replaceafillin the journal/gradebook views we have Section, Term and Year selectors22:20
replaceafill(the dropdowns)22:20
th1aYes, you don't need the section selector.22:20
replaceafillth1a ah ok22:21
replaceafillalso, could you comment on the 0s in the gradebook/journal?22:21
replaceafillshould they be there?22:21
th1aThe problem is that you never really confirm that students are present.22:23
th1aWhich is something we need to address, I guess.22:24
th1aYou don't know if someone had perfect attendance or the teacher never took attendance.22:24
th1aWhich are RATHER DIFFERENT.22:24
replaceafillah22:24
th1aThe fact of the matter is that the journal is still VERY simple.22:25
th1aSo what context did this come up in?22:25
th1aI wasn't quite clear on that.22:25
replaceafillit just that i saw the gradebook doing it22:26
replaceafillbut the gradebook does it for total22:26
replaceafilland uses N/A for average22:26
replaceafilli should take the 0s out of the journal then22:26
* th1a looks at the journal.22:27
th1aThe journal is still slow.22:27
th1abtw...22:27
replaceafillyes22:27
replaceafilli'll work on that too22:27
replaceafillit's still doing too many iterations22:27
th1aYou know, I think it is fine with zeros.22:28
replaceafillah ok then :)22:28
th1aWhat we need to do at some point is add a step where the teacher confirms the attendance.22:28
th1aSo if nobody is absent in a day, you confirm that you took attendance.22:28
th1aAnd didn't just forget!22:29
replaceafillattendance by day or something like that22:29
th1aYes.22:29
th1aBut we don't need to think about it.22:29
replaceafillmaybe put it in the popup menu of the day?22:29
replaceafillok22:29
th1aI think it is ok for now.22:30
replaceafillok, i'll work on the student view and making it faster22:30
