| th1a | replaceafill and menesis: The meeing with ARK went well. | 16:44 |
|---|---|---|
| th1a | meeting | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | great | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | who are they again? | 16:45 |
| th1a | They're going to send a copy of the general requirements, which will tell us a lot. | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | excellent | 16:46 |
| th1a | They are a London-based foundation that, among other things, runs schools in England, Uganda and India. | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | ah, right | 16:46 |
| th1a | OK, gotta go get the girls. | 16:48 |
| *** menesis has quit IRC | 17:40 | |
| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 22:00 |
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 22:00 |
| th1a | How's it going? | 22:02 |
| replaceafill | less progress than usual :( | 22:03 |
| replaceafill | since yesterday was sielibre day (mostly) | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | but i've done a couple of things | 22:04 |
| th1a | Sure. | 22:04 |
| th1a | We made progress! | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | :D | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | i'm finishing the Sakeji report | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | i have a question | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | about the "standard" course worksheet report | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | do you think we should include it in the gradebook? | 22:05 |
| th1a | "In" the gradebook? | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | the first one, based purely from course report sheets | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | i mean, it's a different package right now | 22:05 |
| th1a | The gradebook package? | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | yes | 22:05 |
| th1a | Oh, yes. | 22:05 |
| th1a | That's kind of the whole point. ;-) | 22:05 |
| replaceafill | well, it started as a plugin | 22:05 |
| th1a | True. | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | ok, i'll move it | 22:06 |
| th1a | Well... | 22:06 |
| th1a | Yes, | 22:06 |
| th1a | but we also would like to have that example of a report plugin. | 22:06 |
| th1a | Lying around somewhere. | 22:06 |
| th1a | Just don't obliterate that. | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | the new sakeji report is still an example, right? | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | of a report plugin | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | maybe too specific? | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | with all the hard-coded categories, etc? | 22:08 |
| th1a | It is still an example, probably just a more-complicated one. | 22:08 |
| th1a | I'm just saying, park a copy of the present version *somewhere*. | 22:09 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:10 |
| th1a | Like... a "branch." | 22:11 |
| replaceafill | sure | 22:11 |
| replaceafill | i'm also starting on the "sequence of importers" task | 22:11 |
| replaceafill | i mean, importing several things at once | 22:12 |
| th1a | OK. | 22:12 |
| replaceafill | and see how the server reacts | 22:12 |
| replaceafill | and i noticed what's the problem you described with the calendar widget | 22:12 |
| replaceafill | for setting temporal relationships | 22:12 |
| replaceafill | when you look for something, the form is refreshed | 22:12 |
| replaceafill | and the widget JS is not attached anymore to the field | 22:13 |
| replaceafill | since it's a new field | 22:13 |
| replaceafill | i think we need to attach it trough jQuery's on(...) | 22:13 |
| replaceafill | instead of what we're doing right now | 22:13 |
| th1a | OK. | 22:14 |
| replaceafill | and i guess that's it | 22:14 |
| replaceafill | i saw your fwd about ARK | 22:14 |
| replaceafill | is this one of the situations when you think ST is still a good fit? | 22:15 |
| th1a | Oh, yeah. | 22:15 |
| th1a | Let's go over it quickly. | 22:15 |
| replaceafill | sure | 22:15 |
| th1a | tabular report creation is pretty much something I've been waiting to describe in detail to me. | 22:16 |
| th1a | It shouldn't be hard if someone knows what they want. | 22:16 |
| th1a | "Student attendance without a timetable" seems like homeroom attendance, but I'll have to clarify. | 22:17 |
| th1a | Teacher attendance would be a combination of perhaps making a "section" of teachers, teacher statuses, and a few reports and tweaks. | 22:18 |
| th1a | Student leavers is essentially done. | 22:18 |
| th1a | Fees should be easy if they know exactly what they want. | 22:18 |
| th1a | Also income. | 22:18 |
| th1a | They seem to have their own data warehouse for "sync," so assuming that, it shouldn't be too hard, depending on whether they literally mean "sync" or "upload." | 22:19 |
| th1a | That is, if you're negotiating changes on both ends or just sending it to home base. | 22:19 |
| replaceafill | right | 22:20 |
| th1a | It all seems sane, and a lot of it could end up in core. | 22:20 |
| replaceafill | ok | 22:21 |
| th1a | It is actually sufficiently generic that it may be a little difficult deciding exactly who will pay for what and how the whole arrangement will work. | 22:21 |
| th1a | Although it may seem less generic once we get into details. | 22:21 |
| replaceafill | indeed | 22:21 |
| replaceafill | we've always thought that the billing module is too specific | 22:21 |
| th1a | It just depends on what they want. Also they'd pretty much be paying for that one. | 22:22 |
| th1a | But I can imagine them specing something that would seem pretty useful. | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | did you get any timeline for this? | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | the fall too? | 22:23 |
| th1a | We didn't get into that. | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:24 |
| th1a | Realistically, we'll probably need to have them pay just to get it done quickly enough. | 22:24 |
| th1a | It would be a big deal for us though. I'm just not going to sink time into it without a real commitment from them. | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | i agree | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | oh | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | i missed one line in my notes | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | caveman replied to the force plain text advice | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | in the fckeditor story | 22:28 |
| th1a | Yes, doesn't work on Chrome? | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | my approach didn't work on chrome | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | right | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | i confirmed it | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | it doesn't :( | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | but the funny thing is that the ckeditor website | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | has a demo | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | and paste works perfectly there | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | :( | 22:29 |
| th1a | lol | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | from both browsers | 22:29 |
| th1a | Probably a more recent version. | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | so i assume it could be a version thing | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | i'll see if i can find an answer | 22:30 |
| th1a | So what might close the ARK deal is if I can get the Shuttleworth Foundation (also in London) to play nice. | 22:31 |
| th1a | i.e., without any money changing hands, make it a bit more of an inter-foundation collaboration, which makes everyone feel good. | 22:31 |
| *** menesis has joined #schooltool | 22:31 | |
| th1a | Have Mark put in a good word about it, etc. | 22:32 |
| replaceafill | ah | 22:32 |
| th1a | So hopefully we can manage that. | 22:32 |
| th1a | Just, say, when they're explaining it to their bosses, working with us the Shuttleworth Foundation sounds more impressive than just working with SIELibre, LLC. | 22:33 |
| replaceafill | :D | 22:33 |
| replaceafill | i hope we get it | 22:33 |
| th1a | Indeed! | 22:34 |
| th1a | I did create a new bug from a question -- a "gear" icon for the little settings things in gradebook that are currently hidden. | 22:35 |
| th1a | That would be quick, right? | 22:35 |
| replaceafill | yeah, i think so | 22:35 |
| replaceafill | just moving some options around | 22:36 |
| th1a | OK, so it is on the list. | 22:36 |
| replaceafill | i was looking for a gear in the launchpad icons :D | 22:36 |
| th1a | We should be able to steal a button from Google if necessary. ;-) | 22:36 |
| replaceafill | :D | 22:36 |
| th1a | OK, that's it from me. | 22:37 |
| th1a | I'll cc: you on my reply. | 22:37 |
| replaceafill | thanks | 22:38 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 22:38 |
| th1a | Anything to add menesis? | 22:38 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 22:38 |
| menesis | um, no | 22:38 |
| menesis | :) | 22:39 |
| th1a | OK, good night then. | 22:39 |
| * th1a drops the bag of gravel. | 22:39 | |
| menesis | replaceafill: probably there is an icon in jqueryui | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | ah | 22:41 |
| menesis | there are a hundred or so icons for anything | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | ui-icon-gear :| | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | thanks menesis! | 22:42 |
