New Issues (as of May 1, 2011):

Creator of a Deme account can Login As that account holder. This should be stopped. Login As should probably be a global ability reserved for administrators. (Todd, 2/8/2011)

Symsys: Symsys Affiliates cannot edit their own passwords and password questions by default. This should be changed. May be a general feature of Deme Accounts. (Todd, 2/8/2011)

Display for events should be a little more elegant (e.g. http://symsys.stanford.edu/viewing/event/14240 - starts with "End Date" etc.) (Todd, 2/2011)

Symsys: We need a way to distinguish a student career that ended in graduation from one that ended with them leaving the degree program. E.g. Emilie Dannenberg, undeclared the B.S. and then declared a minor. If i mark her as "finished' with the B.S. career, she gets added to alums, which is not right.  But if I give her an end date in her B.S. career without checking finished, she is still active in the B.S. career even after the end date has passed. (Todd, 2/17/2011)

Symsys:

from Todd: > We recently had a case on Symsys of the deme-on deactiving a membership
> (13908) for reasons I don't understand. Rosenn Cima was taken out of the
> Advising Fellows group
> (http://symsys.stanford.edu/viewing/item/recentchanges?page=10) at around
> the time she added herself to the HCI Concentration.

from Mike: Anytime someone creates/edits/deactivates/reactives a SymsysCareer
(note: this is not an affiliate, but a career, which an affiliate has
zero or more of), _guarantee_consistency_after_changes is called. It
looks at the properties of the affiliate, and makes a list of groups
that the *affiliate* should be a member of, and adds them to groups
they aren't part of and removes them from groups they shouldn't be in.
You're looking at the Advising Fellow group, so I will paste below the
code that determins whether they are in that group
(modules/symsys/models.py line 255):

        if any(x.actual_item_type() == ProgramStaffSymsysCareer and
x.finished == True and x.programstaffsymsyscareer.admin_title ==
'Advising Fellow' for x in my_careers):
            groups.append(get_or_create_group('past_af'))
        if any(x.actual_item_type() == ProgramStaffSymsysCareer and
x.finished == False and x.programstaffsymsyscareer.admin_title ==
'Advising Fellow' for x in my_careers):
            groups.append(get_or_create_group('present_af'))

For reference, my_careers =
SymsysCareer.objects.filter(symsys_affiliate=agent, active=True)

Is this consistent with what's happening? Does Rosenn have a
ProgramStaffSymsysCareer with finished=False and admin_title='Advising
Fellow'?

Symsys: Items added to a newsroll viewer diaplay the title to people who have permission NOT Do anything. For example, anonymous users cannot do anything with http://symsys.stanford.edu/viewing/event/14634, but Frontpage News viewer displays the title to all users. (Todd, 4/18/2011)

TinyMCE inserts a blank space between paragraphs in wysiwyg edit mode. Can it be configured so it doesn't insert the blank space? (Todd, 4/20/2011)

Recent Changes does not show changes to permissions. It seems like it should do this for a user who has global Do anything, and also if a user is the one who made the permissions change. (Todd, 4/20/2011)

Investigate cloud hosting: Google App Engine, Linode.com

User who creates a new person can add ContactMethods and AuthenticationMethods to person's profile, but the person himself cannot do so. Also, the created methods are not created with appropriate permissions for the user unless this is selected separately before creation. (Todd, 6/20/2011)
