 =46rom discussion with Mike, 22-Dec-2004:

Finish up on DBv3:

    * finish documenting DBv3.pm and ww_db_v2_to_v3
    * make list of TODOs so work can be continued
    * (if time) finish assignment/version/attempt management methods
    * (if time) finish ww_db_v2_to_v3
    * put it in its own branch (actually, it's fine in HEAD since=20
nothing makes use of it.)

Release 2.1.1 (soon!):

    * merge changes from HEAD -> rel-2-1-patches
    * fix any remaining bugs (commit to rel-2-1-patches and HEAD)
    * tag rel-2-1-1, release in SF

Gateway testing:

    * Gavin: is rel-2-1-a1 up-to-date?
    * merge differences from rel-2-1-a1 -> HEAD
    * Rob has made extensive changes to some instructor tools, so he can=20=

take a look at any conflicts that show up there.

XML-RPC interface:

    * think of it as another interface to WW
    * Apache::WeBWorKRPC (/webwork2rpc) similar to Apache::WeBWorK=20
(/webwork2)
    * different dispatcher, hierarchy of modules implementing procedures
    * over time, expose functionality via RPC
    * at the same time, factor out "heavy lifting" code which will be=20
used both by web-based stuff and RPC stuff (=E0 la CourseManagement)
    * start with rendering procedure, modify WW::PG::Remote to use it.
