seb__right?04:32
jintythere should be an alpha release next week04:32

paolob-dirbasicagintas, what the scheduled? will we have something usable for the schools before septiember? the web site seems very static!19:06
gintasit's best to talk about these things with Tom Hoffman, our manager19:06
gintasI'm just a lowly programmer :)19:07
paolob-dirbasicagintas, where do I contact him?19:07
gintasalthough as far as I know we are planning 3-4 deployments this autumn19:07
gintasand any interested people are welcome19:07
gintaspaolob-dirbasica: his nick is th1a19:08
gintashe appears to be away at the moment19:08
paolob-dirbasicahi th1a ,19:08
gintashis e-mail: tom dot hoffman at gmail dot com19:08
th1aHi paolob-dirbasica19:08
th1aI was making lunch.19:08
povbot/svn/commits: * vidas committed revision 6262:19:08
povbot/svn/commits: More of security functional test.19:09
*** pcardune has joined #schooltool19:09
th1apaolob-dirbasica: The web site is static because we're focusing on writing code as fast as possible.19:09
paolob-dirbasicath1a, I have a schoolt, we begin the new school year on august 21. What will we have before that date?19:09
th1aWe'll have attendance, demographics, and some gradebook/reporting running.19:10
th1aBut there is a big difference between running and "I recommend random people commit their school's vital data to the system."19:11
paolob-dirbasicath1a, and what about importing data from the database of another similar program? will be something to import it automatically?19:11
th1aPartially.19:13
th1aThat's a big issue.19:13
paolob-dirbasicawhat database is schooltool working with? postgresql? mysql?19:14
gintasit uses an object database, ZODB19:14
paolob-dirbasicagintas, i.e. a custom one?19:14
gintasnot quite19:15
gintasZODB is a technology shipped with Zope19:15
gintaswe use Zope as the platform19:15
th1apaolob-dirbasica: What would you be exporting from?19:15
gintasso it's not custom meaning "made specifically for this project", but "custom" in terms of popularity ;)19:16
paolob-dirbasicath1a, centre19:16
th1aAh.  Where are you?19:16
paolob-dirbasicaI have been using it for two years, but very insatisfactoryly. I couldn't perform various operation, I thing the database corrupted.19:17
paolob-dirbasicath1a, I am in dominican republic19:17
th1aRealistically, you'll want to migrate in a year.19:18
th1aWe'll have a development release next week that you can try out and give us some feedback on, however.19:19
paolob-dirbasicath1a, how do I manage it in ubuntu? a separate package or will you include in the "security upgrades"?19:20
ignasth1a: one more question :) people don't really have views for their personal gradebooks, is it ok if i'll just skip that part of the access control table ? Oh and we could not find any mentions of archived scores in the documentation too ...19:22

th1aignas: It seems like srichter should handle that stuff as he rewrites it.19:25
th1aRight?19:25
ignashope so19:25
povbot/svn/commits: * gintas committed revision 6263:19:42
povbot/svn/commits: Committing security-related fixes for the section view.19:42
povbot/svn/commits: These lack docstrings and unittests (to be added soon), but they already fix a couple functional tests.19:42
th1ajinty: ayt?19:48
th1aEr.  I guess he isn't.19:49
povbot/svn/commits: * ignas committed revision 6264:19:50
povbot/svn/commits: Fix some attendance permissions.19:50
ignasth1a: what is the plan for the next release ? are we going to have something like a feature freeze and work on the ui, or do you have some more important features planned ?20:01
povbot/svn/commits: * vidas committed revision 6265:20:02
povbot/svn/commits: More security functional tests, some commented out.20:02
*** gintas has quit IRC20:08
th1aignas: That is a good question.  We need some reports.  Many bugfixes & UI work.20:09
th1aI mean, we need to be able to generate some reports.20:09
ignasreports a.k.a. pdfs according to some spec provided by a school ?20:10
th1aYes.20:10
th1aAnd more useful html reports as well.20:10
ignasoh, and i just recalled my initial question ;)20:12
ignasat what time will you be perticipating in the workshop tomorow20:13
ignasas i could probably try being available on-line in case you or anyone else needs help with access control stuff20:13
th1aignas  It'll be about 9:00 to 4:00 EDT.  However, I discovered much to my embarassment that it is Sunday, not tomorrow.20:16
ignas:)20:16
th1aSo srichter won't be with me.20:16
ignas:(20:16
th1aI think I can handle it.  I'm not expecting a big crowd.20:16
ignaswhat exactly will be happening there ?20:17
th1aBasically I'm going to be walking people through setting up a complete calendar system for a school.20:17
th1aOn a development version of the code ;-)20:17
ignasouch20:18
th1aAnd poking around the new parts with them.20:18
ignasyou should rehearse tomorrow then20:18
th1aYes.  An extra day helps.20:18
ignasand if you will notice anything not working the way it should yell at me :)20:18
th1aWe will file many, many bugs I think.20:18
ignasthough if it's a demo sticking to manager user is still the best bet ;)20:19
ignasnot that it should be expected to break otherwise20:19
th1aWe'll get these people involved in the open source development process whether they want to be or not!20:19

ignasth1a: requirement permissions might be flaky (probably are not as far as i know) as we have found a very devious bug in the implementation that prevents access control tests for requirements running properly21:08
