Noam-
  • find good Django community forum
  • Look into postgress arrays
  • interdependencies issue for Django models and decision rules
  • polls - implement revised model with write-ins

Polls and Decisions  (Todd and Noam): http://deme.stanford.edu/viewing/htmldocument/297
  • Update from Noam on code - problem in Django with interdependencies between fields (i.e. response format determines available decision rules); Noam is researching, will look for Django developer community to help - affects other models as well
  • Change to proposal okay - write-ins as collection of propositions

Project 
  • Recursive Project model is implemented and in repo
  • Project creator needs to be implemented based on Jimmy's and Todd's design, but with recursive projects - support subprojects, adding projects to other projects etc.; incorporate new code from Mike for viewing Collections, when ready
  • Possibly make two different templates for when the recursive project doesn't contain anything, and when it does, to make the singular recursive project feel like a task (just a suggestion).
Moving issues to the Project tool
  • wait until UI is ready and tool is reviewed

Document commenting (Todd, Jimmy, and Noam)
  • Use HTML5 Canvas element to draw lines and arrows?
  • Popout button for documents and comments to view them in isolation, with full screen option
  • New design for document commenting by next meeting (Todd and Jimmy)

  • Spreadsheet/db filling (Chris, Mike) - Chris in a snag over saving to the db - Todd recommends creating accounts through the Web via admin access for new alums, but show Todd names beforehand
  • Dev discussion and issues space for Symsys (Chris)
  • Chris will flesh out issues and prioritize
  • Add new project to make course scheduler
  • Chris: Go through issues in main Deme issues doc on Github for others that are relevant to Symsys (including general Deme issues) - include in a new plan for getting Symsys ready for wider and more extensive use of its features
Symsys website - spam, slowness, code push (Chris, Mike, Joe)
  • Site  is faster now because of improvements to db querying and permission  checking (Chris will ask Mike about this when Mike returns)
