uhmm, both! The real detailed stuff needed for users when the release comes is 1) what does it do; 2) what do i need to do to use it. s On 9 Jun 2006, at 14:58, Colin Tatham wrote: > Jon Maber wrote: >> Ive been contracted to do a certain amount of testing on 2.8 before >> release at the end of the month.

I've been trying out MySQL 5.0 with Bodington. The instructions for MySQL 4
that I put into the /docs directory work fine for version 5.0. I'm using a
snapshot of our production Bodington setup copied from PostgreSQL with a
little jdbc program. I've tried the identical database contents with both
PostgreSQL and SQL Server 2005 as backend database. So far, MySQL 5.0 seems
quicker than either of the others. Resource creation, modification and
deletion in particular are much quicker.
Anyone else want to try it?

What's the intended purpose of the 2.8 release page in the Wiki? Description of new features for informing the public when we release it, or more detailed stuff that we all need to know for testing/deployment? I'm presuming the latter...

Sad tidings from Leeds, bodders. Brian ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Subject: VLE Review: announcement of outcome Date sent: Thu, 8 Jun 2006 17:13:21 +0100 From: To: <Tea...@le...> Send reply to: Senate is unanimous in supporting the move to a new VLE Following strong support from Senate, yesterday, for the outcomes of the VLE Review, work will begin immediately to put in place the business planning process to purchase and implement a new VLE. Plans will be developed in the next few weeks to ensure that Bodington and the Student Portal can provide effective support for learning and teaching until the new VLE is in place (target 2008/9). Regular updates on process and timescales will be provided on the VLE Review website at: http://www.ldu.leeds.ac.uk/restricted/vle.htm Outcome of VLE Review Senate yesterday considered a paper (see http://www.ldu.leeds.ac.uk/restricted/vle.htm) from the VLE Steering Group providing the outcome of the VLE Review. The recommendations of the paper, below, were fully supported. Recommendation 1: A detailed Business Case should be developed for the implementation of a commercial VLE. This will include consideration of appropriate structures for both technical and user support and training. The aim will be to have the new VLE fully in place across the University for the start of academic year 2008/9, earlier if feasible. Recommendation 2: To cover the period until a commercial VLE can be fully implemented, work should begin immediately to scope and implement an interim solution based on the Luminis Student Portal (for course management) and Bodington (for learning and teaching). This will include the limited upgrading of Bodington, within current resources, to ease the integration with Luminis and to aid the migration of Bodington content into the new VLE. Recommendation 3: The opportunity should be taken to integrate within the aims and objectives of the new Learning and Teaching Strategy the benefits provided by the introduction of the new VLE. This will include consideration of the degree to which the use of the VLE can be encouraged in the majority of teaching along with the resources and structures needed to achieve this aim. Background Approval by Senate completes a major consultation exercise which has included meetings with staff and students to develop a pedagogic specification, a series of site visits to peer institutions (including the universities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham, Liverpool, LMU, Oxford, Southampton) and presentations and telephone conferences with key suppliers. In addition, an in-depth investigation by an independent consultant familiar with the VLE market place and our in-house systems has been conducted and the VLE Steering Group considered the findings and concluded that: * there is a clear need for a new VLE which should contain up-to-date facilities to allow the University to benefit from the new techniques available to support a new L&T strategy that includes blended learning at its core * the new VLE should be viewed as a core University system, and supported to a similar level of service as other 'mission critical' systems, such as SAP and Banner. * the most appropriate system to meet this need is a commercial system. These conclusions and the consequent recommendations, above, were considered by FMG and LTB leading to the production of a paper to be considered by Senate on 7th June. Learning and Teaching Board welcomed the conclusions and recommendations of the VLESG, underlining that the VLE should be integrated with the Learning and Teaching Strategy at University, Faculty and School levels and be used appropriately within the curriculum, to complement other forms of delivery. If you have any queries about the progress of the plans to introduce the new VLE contact ....... ------- End of forwarded message ------- |

The font size won't increase when the browser font is increased but you have complete control over all the swing fonts in the buttons and menus. You'd just have to give components room to grow a bit because the last time I looked applets didn't dynamically re-size. In fact, I suspect that a very clever person could link up applet fonts with the browser setting using javascript to capture a keypress event then passing this to the applet. There might be an issue here with the clients for the forthcoming bods messaging application. I would also suspect that there might be a case for writing a special applet or application that would provide a reet royal dose of accessibility. Some of the clients will have you ferreting down a layer or two to find how to change font characteristics, and I'm sure some will only change the size of the messaging texts and not the interface text. An accessibility audit of im client software - that's what's needed. (By someone else..who isn't me.) eg http://www.webaim.org/techniques/articles/chats (sept 2004) Despite the wide-spread use of chat programs, few are fully accessible to those with disabilities. Though the situation is not satisfactory at this time, most chat interfaces could easily be made accessible with a few modifications and design changes. If you are designing, implementing, or looking for a chat program, these are a few questions to ask: 1. Is the interface accessible through the keyboard only? 2. Does the program work with common screen readers? 3. Can the user control the scrolling and/or refreshing of messages? 4. Does sound alone convey important information? 5. Are the controls easy to use and clear? 6. If Java is being used, is it designed to work with Jaws and other screen readers? To learn more about accessible chats and other accessibility tips, please visit the {HYPERLINK "/"}webaim.org site or {HYPERLINK "/contact/contact.php?person=jared"}contact the author.

Thanks for the password - works fine. Yes, I think SF bugtracker is the thing to use, at least for the time being but I expect to directly Email whoever I think is the author of the thing that broke.

Dear all, Ive been contracted to do a certain amount of testing on 2.8 before release at the end of the month. Im starting on Monday and will do about 5 days full time equivalent over two weeks. There are two things that are prerequisits to this work: 1) Stuff gets commited to CVS so I get grab it and build. (I dont want to keep rebuilding and retesting) 2) The detail gets added to the list of new features so I know how the new functionality is supposed to behave rather than test against what I guess is its proper behaviour. There is a strong sense of urgency about this because for you to fix problems that I find I will need to start reporting the problems as I find them, rather than save them up for a final report and I need to start soon. Also, I have another client who needs me to do work this month and that client has priority over my time since they engaged me first. Ill be putting stuff straight into the Wiki so can someone Email me a password? I would like my user name to be jonmaber or similar. Ta. Jon |
