Team meeting 8/9/2011
Meeting Agenda and Notes, 8/9/2011
In future, do not Git push changes to the model without any necessary migration http://south.aeracode.org/
Polls and Decisions http://deme.stanford.edu/viewing/htmldocument/297
- Visability of the poll will affect how the results are displayed with quorum vs the deadline
- Thresholds tie broken by what has the highest results
- For approve/dissaprove, give values to the propositionresponses, differentiate between a no vote, a yes, and a no
- For choose n exactly, set default value to chosen, to make it scalable for future decision complexities with write ins.
- For choosing n in the response format, if n is 2, there will be two proposition responses created, not one proposition response symbolizing both.
- Jimmy and Noam will work on UI for polls and decisions
Project
- Jimmy will work with Mike on interface for Project
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, and text size setting
- New design for document commenting by next meeting (Todd and Jimmy) - Todd and Jimmy meet Weds. 8/10 11 am
- Expandable viewers. Viewing items should be easy and adaptable for all users. Full screen options should be easily invoked. Text size and font options should be available to make for easy reading
- Dictionary, thesaurus, and translation options would be accessible via the viewer.
- Blocking on document viewer proposal, should be part of that discussion
- Full document translation via some web service (non-html, 1 day; html, not sure)
- Dictionary/thesaurus/translation, from a highlight
- Still need to discuss where to place these options in the UI
- Look at Ben's highlighting code from v0.6
Event viewer
- code needs to be pulled to the website - Jimmy's notes on how to pull code onto the website:
- awaiting migration of Project code
Email integration
- Todd heard back from HelpSU - need to submit request to Security.Stanford.edu
- Mike: goal is to get access to an SMTP server we can use for webapps, not get ourselves approved - should be Stanford server; get a token of Stanford.edu mail server
Empirical studies
- Jimmy and Todd met and produced http://deme.stanford.edu/viewing/htmldocument/440
- Jimmy will follow Search links we created to expand the lit database
- Todd and Jimmy will meet Thurs. 8/11 3 pm
Proposal from AIR to expand scope to synchro audio deliberation
- Todd will check in with AIR to find out where they are with this
To everyone writing interface code: Find good resource on accessibility, localization, internationalization and read it before writing front end code
UI needs to be modified so users can better interact with Groups and their Folios, including subgroups and folios of other groups with a folio (Todd, Jimmy, and Noam will come up with a design Weds. 8/10 2 pm PDT - meet by Skype and Drabbleboard)
- Ability to share meeting areas across groups. When different groups wish to combine or share their spaces and resources, the platform should facilitate this for any length of time needed, within the norms established for the project and by the groups.
Customizable group website, editable and configurable through the web interface. Existing Deme functionality should be enhanced so that users without programming skills can manage the look and feel, as well as the content, of a group's website.
- Mike will try to do simply, based on Wordpress customization
List viewer to be used in viewing collections and comments in grid mode (as opposed to threaded mode)
- Mike will work on this
Expandable viewers. Viewing items should be easy and adaptable for all users. Full screen options should be easily invoked. Text size and font options should be available to make for easy reading
- Assume full screen means full browser window and/or popouts
- Fullscreen - 1 hour, search on how to do in Javascript
- Put on layout - Noam will do this
- Resize text (1 hour):
- Put on layout - Noam will do this
Report on Symsys (Chris, Mike, Todd)
- Spreadsheet is in db with a couple of names not in db - Todd will look into these cases with Alyssa
- Subscriptions need to be made private by default - Chris will change creator of subscriptions made automatically to daemon instead of individual users
- Need email lists for each class. Subscriptions to Groups should be deleted, replaced with subs to Folios for each Class of group (Chris will do)
- Update codebase on Symsys - Git pull and disable Project module on Symsys
- Dev discussion and issues space for Symsys (Chris)
- Chris will flesh out issues and prioritize by Thursday's meeting
- 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)
