th1anp17:42
th1aI'm trying to run this ridiculous verso script for Glenda again.17:42
th1aI think she moved the Import Template thing again.17:42
th1ahttp://cando.cteresource.org/Import_Templates/17:42
replaceafillah17:43
th1aIs it supposed to download 06-verso_skills.xls17:43
th1a?17:43
replaceafillyeah, but the name is hardcoded and it changed17:43
replaceafilliirc17:43
th1aWhy does it need that entire thing?17:43
th1aFeel free to ignore that question.17:44
replaceafill:)17:44
replaceafillhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~schooltool-owners/schooltool.virginia/trunk/view/head:/src/schooltool/virginia/scripts/getverso_xls.py#L38217:44
th1aAnyhow...17:44
th1aI guess I should write some Niswonger docs.17:44
th1aI think the key point is that advisors need to be made teachers.17:45
th1a(key not-obvious point)17:45
replaceafillyeah17:46
replaceafilland groups created for each school17:46
th1aOK.17:46
th1aI'll do that tonight and send it to Denise.17:48
th1aSo you're completely done with that until they look at it, correct.17:49
th1aMind clear...17:49
th1a?17:49
replaceafillcorrect17:49
replaceafillso so17:49
th1a;-)17:50
th1aOK.17:50
th1aSo basically we would like to get Proximity a more specific estimate tomorrow.17:50
replaceafillok17:51
th1aSo you should spend the day loading that into your brain and we can do that tomorrow morning.17:51
th1aAlso look over your records -- I'm thinking we should charge them for 2 days work already.17:52
replaceafillok17:52
th1aSince we've done some pretty specific prototyping.17:52
replaceafillyeah17:53
replaceafillconfiguration for canvas17:53
th1aSo if you can just pick out a couple days to claim for that.17:53
replaceafillok17:53
replaceafillweird question17:53
replaceafillwhat would be the simplest thing we could do, canvas-related, that could be useful?17:54
replaceafilli was thinking about the "manage" (stuck) tasks17:54
replaceafillpage17:54
replaceafillyou mentioned once i think17:54
th1aAh, well.17:55
th1aYou mean to give you something to start on?17:55
replaceafillyeah17:55
replaceafilltoday17:55
replaceafilli mean17:55
replaceafillit's hard for me to just try things without a specific goal17:55
replaceafilllike a view17:56
replaceafillthat we'll use or something17:56
th1aI'm thinking that we'll want to have an attribute on a person which tracks if they've been synced since the last change.17:56
th1aIf they are dirty?  Is that the term?17:56
th1aAnyhow.17:56
replaceafillah ok17:57
replaceafillhow would you detect the change?17:57
th1aLast change in the schooltool side.17:57
th1aWell, that would be a question.17:57
replaceafillah17:57
replaceafilllike comparing current state with canvas state?17:57
th1aNo.17:57
th1aLike, ok, I just edited this person (or added them) so they are unsynced until I get a successful response from canvas when I try to push the change to canvas.17:58
replaceafilli guess not all schooltool changes to a person would mark it as dirty, right?17:59
th1aThe ones that are relevant to Canvas I guess.18:00
replaceafillright18:01
replaceafillwell, i'll try to think of something18:02
th1aThat's pretty much the core of this job.18:02
th1aIt would be better to just sync even when a change was irrelevant than get too complicated.18:02
replaceafillok18:03
th1aAll right, that sounds like a good place to start.18:03
replaceafillkk18:04
th1aWe'll have a long chat tomorrow.18:04
replaceafilli'll try to be here on time then :)18:05
th1aThanks replaceafill.18:05
replaceafillthanks th1a18:05
