| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 17:30 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 17:30 |
| th1a | How is it going? | 17:31 |
| replaceafill | not much to report | 17:31 |
| replaceafill | kind of took the afternoon off yesterday | 17:31 |
| th1a | OK. | 17:33 |
| replaceafill | but i was curious about the workflow history in ST | 17:33 |
| th1a | Oh, jeez... | 17:33 |
| replaceafill | so i did a little log/branch research | 17:33 |
| th1a | wfmc? | 17:33 |
| replaceafill | right | 17:33 |
| th1a | That's deep voodoo. | 17:33 |
| replaceafill | indeed | 17:34 |
| th1a | I got very excited about the idea that all the main processes in schooltool (promotion, essentially all the things that now have status) could | 17:34 |
| th1a | potentially be run by customizable wfmc workflows. | 17:34 |
| replaceafill | why did it get dropped? | 17:34 |
| th1a | The Lithuanians pointed out that just because you could define a workflow in wfmc xml, that wouldn't necessarily make the application handle the changes sanely. | 17:35 |
| th1a | That would be really hard. | 17:35 |
| th1a | Stephan on the other hand, is happy to accompany you on flights of fancy with complicated tech. | 17:35 |
| replaceafill | :) | 17:36 |
| th1a | So it was one of those things were a couple years into the project I was like... why aren't we getting anywhere...? | 17:36 |
| *** yvl has quit IRC | 17:36 | |
| th1a | where a couple years in.. | 17:36 |
| replaceafill | so for behaviour we're probably going to need a new model, right? | 17:38 |
| th1a | Oh, no. | 17:39 |
| th1a | I mean, here's all I was really trying to get at yesterday. | 17:39 |
| th1a | We need custom objects, not just special notes or something. | 17:40 |
| th1a | They probably don't want/need workflow NOW, but they, or someone, will. | 17:40 |
| replaceafill | and by workflow you're referring to a sequence workflow? | 17:41 |
| th1a | We just don't want to save 2 days now, or one, and as a result trying to add workflows to certain notes in the future -- we just need fresh objects. That's pretty much my only point. | 17:41 |
| th1a | Probably, but not necessarily. | 17:41 |
| th1a | In theory all of our workflows could/should be sequences. | 17:41 |
| th1a | It is just a matter of trusting people to keep the sequence themselves. | 17:41 |
| replaceafill | right | 17:42 |
| th1a | Anyhow, so don't get hung up on that. | 17:42 |
| th1a | The other main thing is I just kind of prompted Fran to be more specific -- | 17:42 |
| th1a | I is just helpful to say "OK Fran, in the absence of more instruction, I'm beginning to march in THIS direction..." | 17:42 |
| th1a | Which impresses upon her the necessity of giving us more direction. | 17:43 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:44 |
| replaceafill | where did you get the rising logo? | 17:44 |
| th1a | From their website I think? | 17:45 |
| th1a | Or just Google Images? | 17:45 |
| replaceafill | ah i just got their facebook | 17:45 |
| replaceafill | https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xal1/t31.0-8/10431383_304324596408601_9036950011099422105_o.jpg | 17:45 |
| replaceafill | i guess we'll do some color adjusting | 17:46 |
| th1a | Ah, yeah. | 17:46 |
| th1a | I got it from there, but I don't think I found that version. | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | but i'll start putting the logo, css, etc in the pacakge | 17:46 |
| th1a | OK. | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | i also plan to start looking at the score system customization for the journal | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | i mean, for their attendance views | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | kind of like what we have for the section journals | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | where you can set a preference for the score systems you want to use | 17:47 |
| th1a | OK. | 17:47 |
| th1a | You are going to need to do time tracking against this 30 day pre-pay. | 17:48 |
| replaceafill | right | 17:48 |
| replaceafill | do you think i should write down how much each task took in the blueprints? | 17:48 |
| th1a | Sure. | 17:49 |
| replaceafill | cool | 17:50 |
| th1a | Maybe in the task items (or whatever it is called). | 17:50 |
| replaceafill | work items | 17:50 |
| replaceafill | hhmm i think we don't have the tweaks to existing reports for rising yet, do we? | 17:52 |
| th1a | OK. I have to get my permanent crown put in on the tooth I broke tomorrow. The appt. is at 10:00, so maybe meet 11:30 (hour later) tomorrow? | 17:52 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 17:52 |
| th1a | No, there is still a pretty good list of things we need from Fran. | 17:52 |
| replaceafill | sure | 17:52 |
| replaceafill | right | 17:53 |
| th1a | OK. I'm going to get you paid, take care of the VAT and do some other accounting stuff today. | 17:54 |
| replaceafill | ah cool | 17:55 |
| replaceafill | thanks! | 17:55 |
| th1a | I need to check at the bank to see if there is a cheaper way to pay the vat than by credit card, as they charged us like $50 to do that the last time. | 17:55 |
| th1a | But I think it is probably just the price of doing business. | 17:55 |
| th1a | At least we didn't have to hire a UK accountant! | 17:55 |
| replaceafill | :D | 17:55 |
| th1a | OK. That should cover it. | 17:57 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 17:58 |
