th1aBasically you have a week and a half to tidy up (taking into account getting ready for the trip, etc).16:43
th1aAlso, make sure we're focusing our attention on problems that would potentially cause data loss or data to not be saved.16:44

replaceafillok16:59
replaceafilllast week i worked on updating our reports to use the skill score system feature16:59
replaceafilland then found a couple of issues16:59
replaceafillwhich i reported to the list16:59
replaceafilli think aelkner is checking that17:00
replaceafillso, since i got a little blocked about it, i moved to solving dwelsh requests17:00
replaceafillhe had some about inserting the IEP description in the student gradebook17:00
replaceafill(that's done)17:01
replaceafillalso, about changing iep skills in the Student competency report to "No"17:01
replaceafill(i'm in the middle of that)17:01
replaceafilland then some report renaming, adding one more column to the report th1a loves a lot...17:01
replaceafill... the one with lots of numbers ;)17:02
replaceafill(i'll work on that today)17:02
replaceafilli told dwelsh i should have everything ready for wednesday17:02
th1aI'm sorry you're also bug boy right now, but could you take a look at the question about gradebook averages?17:02
replaceafillah, sure17:03
th1aOK.  Thanks.17:03

yvlthanks th1a!17:10
replaceafillth1a, i'll ask the average question user about his gradebook setup17:38
replaceafillhe says he's using 30% + 40% + 40%17:39
replaceafillhe's missing 10% :D17:39
th1aWait, that's 110?17:39
replaceafillyes17:39
th1aSo an extra 10%?17:39
th1aOK, ask him that.  DId you look at how we're calculating it?17:40
replaceafilloops not missing, exceeding17:40
replaceafill:)17:40
replaceafilli think it's similar to this question in spanish:17:40
replaceafillhttps://answers.launchpad.net/schooltool/+question/21588417:40
replaceafillbut i want to make sure he's actually using the score system17:40
th1aDoes what he describes for the formula match what we do internally?17:41
replaceafilli think so, i'm checking with sample data though17:41
th1aOK.17:43
replaceafillwhat i like about this email is the "is my everyday tool for almost 4 yeas" :)17:45
th1aJeez, I didn't notice that!17:46

aelknerhey replaceafill20:54
aelknermenesis, ayt?21:32
* replaceafill is back from lunch21:33
replaceafillhi aelkner21:34
aelknerhey replaceafill21:35
aelkneryou saw my note, the problem is rather strange, but i'm sure i can work it out21:36
aelknerit seems that the skills gradebook gets called even though the request is for the project gradebook21:36
th1aI sent you an email aelkner.21:38
aelkneri just replied :)21:38
aelknerreplaceafill, so i found this:21:42
aelknergradebook = ISkillsGradebook(worksheet, None)21:42
aelknerline 132 of cando gradebook, inside the ProjectsGradebook class!21:42
aelknercan you explain what you had in mind there?21:42
replaceafillsorry, i was away21:45
replaceafilllooking...21:45
replaceafillit's for the update functionality21:47
replaceafillwhen you update a skill in a project21:47
aelknerbut updating the project gradebook is different than updating the skills gradebook21:47
replaceafillif the skill comes from a skillset in the same section21:47
replaceafillno21:47
aelknerdifferent set of skills21:47
replaceafillthat updates the skills gradebook21:47
replaceafillsuppose you set 3 for the project skill21:48
replaceafillthe 3 must land in the skills gradebook too21:48
replaceafillbut the equivalent could be in another project21:48
aelknerwell, maybe that's it then, because they don't land there21:48
replaceafilli think you misunderstood my issue21:48
replaceafillor the issue i found21:49
replaceafillthe problem i reported is:21:49
replaceafillyou create skills with different score systems, right?21:49
replaceafillassign them to skillsets, etc21:49
replaceafillassign those skillsets to a course21:49
replaceafillthose skills should be converted to section skills21:50
replaceafillwith their respective scoresystem21:50
replaceafillwhat is happening now, is that the section skills are getting cando's default score system21:50
replaceafillso you get the *mismatch* in the scoresystems21:51
replaceafillfrom project to skills gradebook21:51
replaceafill(i think)21:51
aelkneri'm getting a mismatch in the activities21:51
aelknerso i have a project that has four activities21:51
aelknerthe skills gradebook has two21:51
replaceafillok, let's do something21:52
aelkneryes?21:52
replaceafilllet's put the projects gradebook problem aside for a moment21:52
replaceafilllet's just focus on the skills gradebook21:52
replaceafill*that* is the problem is really blocking me21:52
replaceafilldo you understand the issue?21:52
replaceafillif i create my own skills with different score systems21:53
aelknerok, one sec, jeff has just called me21:53
replaceafilli expect the skills gradebook to use those scoresystem21:53
replaceafills21:53
replaceafillsure21:53
replaceafillnp21:53
aelknercan you do a hangout?21:56
replaceafillhhm ok21:57
replaceafillgive me 5 mins21:57
aelknerok21:57
