Welsh and Hoffman spoke for 45-mins. this afternoon (Friday, 6-1-07)
to synch CanDo and SchoolTool plans; here are the notes:


PERMISSIONS

CanDo developers need to understand how to do functional tests on permissions

SchoolTool runs slightly different and tighter permissions than I run

If we're running a different permissions, CanDo needs a way to
override permissions

Ignas is the SchoolTool guy to talk to about permissions


SECURITY

We need functional tests (good intern tests)

Python has good facilities for doing it

Stephen Richter is a good resource


IE COMPATIBILITY

CanDo is committed to IE7 compatibility.

We can put IE bugs on the SchoolTool bug tracker (please tag as IE)


RELEASES

CanDo07 releases in August07 on "Feisty"
--we will feature freeze in early August

SchoolTool07 releases in October with "Gutsy"
--they will feature freeze in July


SCHEDULE

Tom will be at NECC, EuroPython and FOSSED/Gallaudet
He will NOT be at FOSSED/NH or the Arlington Sprint
