| matera_ttp | hi guys, just a quick question | 10:26 |
|---|---|---|
| matera_ttp | can I use custom scores for students? Not A,B,etc but numbers from 1 to 12 | 10:27 |
| matera_ttp | sorry, have already found in documentation | 10:42 |
| matera_ttp | it's possible | 10:42 |

| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 18:32 |
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 18:32 |
| th1a | hi menesis. | 18:32 |
| * th1a is not sure when I should begin to welcome menesis to meetings. | 18:33 | |
| replaceafill | :) | 18:33 |
| th1a | Also, the big news of the morning is that it looks like mgedmin may be doing some work on SchoolTool again, after a very long hiatus. | 18:33 |
| replaceafill | ah nice | 18:34 |
| th1a | So, we'll have to discuss what he might do. | 18:34 |
| th1a | mgedmin is somewhat of a testing expert, so if you want any kind of advanced testing harness, that would be one option. | 18:34 |
| * mgedmin suggests fixing tests in trunk as first step | 18:34 | |
| replaceafill | mgedmin, i almost finish that | 18:35 |
| replaceafill | i'll try to merge all the branches for monday | 18:35 |
| menesis | hello | 18:35 |
| th1a | hi menesis. | 18:35 |
| th1a | I'm also apparently having dinner tonight with alga and yvl. | 18:37 |
| th1a | It is like old home week with the Lithuanians. | 18:37 |
| th1a | Other mgedmin options might be: | 18:37 |
| menesis | awesome | 18:38 |
| th1a | * calendar-related refresh, since he may still understand some of that better than replaceafill. | 18:38 |
| th1a | And that's not been touched in a long time. | 18:38 |
| th1a | * messages -- yvl put in place be bones of essentially a message/news feed for users in SchoolTool, but right now it only tells you when your reports are printed. Obviously it could do a lot more. | 18:39 |
| replaceafill | ability to delete them would be nice | 18:40 |
| th1a | There are 1001 possible features for it. | 18:40 |
| menesis | and hide them from the person page | 18:42 |
| th1a | * setting different permissions for past and upcoming years -- basically making it difficult to change things in past years, and easier to change things in upcoming years (while you're tweaking the setup), with the active/current year behaving as they do currently. | 18:42 |
| menesis | at least from other users | 18:42 |
| th1a | Good point menesis! | 18:42 |
| th1a | Basically, there are a number of possibilities, and I'd like to find a good fit for mgedmin's skills/interest. | 18:44 |
| th1a | There is no particular flaming issue that he MUST DO. | 18:44 |
| th1a | So we can think and talk about that further later. | 18:45 |
| mgedmin | no plans to migrate to git? ;) | 18:45 |
| th1a | We're pretty deeply wired into Launchpad's processes at this point. | 18:46 |
| th1a | In the meantime, how are the multi-school reports coming replaceafill? | 18:48 |
| replaceafill | almost done | 18:48 |
| replaceafill | working on the xls now | 18:48 |
| replaceafill | (xls export) | 18:48 |
| replaceafill | yesterday i played a little with the sampledata plugins | 18:49 |
| replaceafill | to populate my 3 sample schools | 18:49 |
| th1a | Programatically? | 18:49 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 18:49 |
| th1a | I probably should have made us stick with that. | 18:49 |
| replaceafill | for this case it's perfect | 18:50 |
| th1a | It just became its own little nightmare of sample data dependencies. | 18:50 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:50 |
| replaceafill | well, for creating year, term, students, enrollments, levels, etc | 18:50 |
| replaceafill | it's ok | 18:50 |
| replaceafill | i mean, simple stuff | 18:51 |
| replaceafill | i imagine it can get complicated | 18:51 |
| th1a | Yeah, I mean, now that the dust has settled on the scope of SchoolTool as it is, it should be a bit more sane. | 18:51 |
| th1a | It was hairier back in the mgedmin days when we were adding new bits all the time. | 18:51 |
| replaceafill | but it's way faster than recording the selenium IDE session, playback, etc | 18:51 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:52 |
| replaceafill | right | 18:52 |
| th1a | And the scope wasn't settled, we were still imagining a lot more arbitrary plug-ins. | 18:52 |
| replaceafill | anyway, i flourish-ed the view for that | 18:52 |
| replaceafill | you only use it in devmoe | 18:52 |
| th1a | You know, like plugging in the all Zope 3 version of Plone which was going to emerge Real Soon Now. | 18:52 |
| replaceafill | devmode | 18:52 |
| replaceafill | :) | 18:53 |
| replaceafill | i think i should be done with the report today | 18:53 |
| replaceafill | oh | 18:53 |
| replaceafill | quick question | 18:53 |
| replaceafill | for the report sheets columns | 18:54 |
| replaceafill | we're sticking to the "common ones" pattern, correct? | 18:54 |
| th1a | Yes. | 18:54 |
| th1a | For this iteration at least. | 18:54 |
| replaceafill | cool | 18:54 |
| replaceafill | that's it from me | 18:54 |
| th1a | OK. | 18:56 |
| th1a | I'm going to write Laurynas about PoV, try to get mobert rolling on some new content for the book tonight. Have some grilled pizza with alga and yvl... | 18:58 |
| th1a | Follow up with Don. | 18:59 |
| th1a | menesis: Do you have some dates when you're planning on working on SchoolTool for a sustained period of time? | 18:59 |
| th1a | Meanwhile, | 19:08 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 19:08 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 19:08 |
| menesis | th1a: no, I don't have concrete plans with dates | 19:09 |
| menesis | at the moment and for the next week I'm busy | 19:10 |
| menesis | but then maybe I can find time | 19:10 |
| th1a | OK, that's what I needed to know for now, thanks menesis. | 19:11 |
| menesis | I've noticed some packages are uninstallable in ubuntu 14.10. I definitely have to fix that | 19:12 |
| menesis | I should update schooltool to 2.8.1 in ubuntu, I guess? | 19:13 |
| th1a | Oh. | 19:19 |
| th1a | Uhm... | 19:20 |
| th1a | Well, that's an open question menesis. | 19:20 |
| th1a | I mean, essentially, we just want people using 14.04 LTS. | 19:20 |
| th1a | otoh, all things considered, it would be better to have a SchoolTool in 14.10 universe than not. | 19:21 |
| th1a | I'd say with each release we just have to assess how much work would be necessary. | 19:21 |
| th1a | But our docs are going to say unambiguously to use 14.04, basically forever. | 19:22 |
| menesis | have to decide shortly (on the version) | 19:25 |
| menesis | but packages that are there should be installable at least | 19:25 |
| menesis | after some upgrades of zope libraries (in debian) they are not, I suppose | 19:25 |
| menesis | have not upgraded/installed in virtualbox utopic yet | 19:26 |
| th1a | There are important bugfixes in 2.8.1, so I'd say it is worth it to switch to that, if we're going to have a schooltool inthere. | 19:26 |
| menesis | to check | 19:26 |
| menesis | I have backported bugfixes to 2.6.5dev | 19:27 |
| th1a | I mean, take a look, and if you feel like it is just going to be an ever-increasing hairball to keep a working SchoolTool in Ubuntu, we can just pull the plug and say "use 14.04 and our PPA." | 19:27 |
| menesis | a week before Douglas released 2.8.1 | 19:27 |
| menesis | ok | 19:28 |
