There are at least for others who have asked for work but not yet been given anything to do.  I fear a "use them or loose them" situation.  If we don't build on all the work we did training folks last Summer, the potential benefits could begin to dissipate.  We need the following:

Presumably this is your role.

Does jinty have their ssh public keys so we can give them checkin
access once we have the contributor agreements?

They're going to work in a branch.  What other procedures and
processes do you have in mind?  In general shouldn't they stick to how
they've been doing things for CanDo?

Ignas can do this periodically.

> 2. Which way forward for the SchoolTool UI?  I noticed this morning that Paul's dashboard and the grade summary are back in the grade book (3 cheers for whoever made that happen!).  I think I have all I need now to begin using the grade book (I'll report back after classes today).  Now we need to figure out the proper thing to do with the SchoolTool UI to make it more usable in the future.

I would take it in the direction you took CanDo.
