[schooltool-dev] EuroPython thoughts

[Tom Hoffman]

I've put a few things that I want to work on at EuroPython in Malone
tagged with ep07, but I'll outline my thinking in more detail here.
Unfortunately, almost all this stuff will require some additional
discussion and prioritization in Vilnius.

* Easy ones: get the better Zonki graphics into SchoolTool, update the
font next to the logo, new favicon.

* Make the dashboard the default view when a user clicks on
"SchoolTool" or her name.  Disable the pop-up dashboard tag.

* Require a click to activate the drop down menus.

* Rip some things out that don't work.  Commendation shouldn't be in
the release; it is just an example for developers.  Perhaps attendance
and gradebook should be ripped out and Ignas's journal used instead.
We'll have to discuss this.

* I would like to streamline section creation if possible.  I think we
could probably do it without changing the underlying object.  The main
problem is that asking for an id, description, and code(iirc) before
creating a section is pointless and confusing.

Also:  we haven't discussed how much we're going to sprint while the
conference proper is going on.  As far as I'm concerned, we can start
after lunch on Tuesday.  There isn't anything in particular I need to
see after the Grok talk Tuesday morning.  Tuesday is my birthday,
however, so I do expect to do some drinking in the evening.
