[WWdevel] Re: webwork/gateway testing

[Michael E. G. <ga...@ma...>]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to fold Gavin's gateway quiz into the main CVS build within a 
couple of weeks.  I'd first
like to have some some smaller user interface and cosmetic details 
fixed -- Arnie has done
several fixes to the scoring module for example.  Once that is done 
we'll label that
2.1.2  and add Gavin's modules in.

I've been adding items that allow interconnection of moodle to webwork 
using SOAP, but
that's pretty independent of the rest of the code, so I've been adding 
it directly to HEAD.  It
won't affect anything unless you actually use the SOAP interface.

If everyone else is ok with this, let's plan to stamp the current HEAD 
as 2.1.2 next Monday (June 6).
Meantime get any small changes or stability issues into HEAD and hold 
off any
potentially unstable changes.  Once 2.1.2 is released we'll start 
folding in Gateway testing
and anything else that is ready.

Sound ok?

Take care,

Mike
