[Self-platform-dev] SELF homepage at testing and other Beta migration issues

[Wouter Tebbens]

Hi there,

As we just agreed today to do the migration of the SELF.Beta at Bselfish 
for next Wednesday (19 March), I am thinking of what needs to be taken 
care of to do all that smoothly.

As Nagarjuna told us this morning, of Phase I of the roadmap most things 
are already implemented. Some smaller work has still to be done on 
Import/Export SCORM, on i18n, on Bookshelf & FileMgr and Search. More 
work has to be done on Comparing and Merging UI and on QA mechanisms.

That means that we should have the major part of the features working 
next Wednesday. That is really great!

Thinking of it there seem to be some things we need to double check.

1 the testing server hompage doesn't work at all: 
http://testing.selfplatform.eu:8081/selfplatform/

why not?

2. replacing the Beta and reimporting content from scratch into the new 
BETA. Today we discussed that the current content will be exported as 
far as that is considered relevant by the authors themselves (I just 
sent a message to discussion and address@hidden . eu). And most LO's are 
SCORM objects produced at Atutor that we can import right away.

What about those materials at the current SELF.Beta that still need to 
be exported, as the SELF Help and About objects?

Export seems not to work at the SELF.Beta. Or did I miss something?

3. Preparing the BSELFISH server for the new release, including 
Postgres. Is all set?

4. Installing the working version of SELF from CVS onto BSELFISH. Is the 
CVS version indeed the latest code, the code that we are testing at 
CSELFISH? I agree with Federico's view on the use of CVS. All code 
should come from CVS and bugfixes should be recorded at CVS right away.

Best,

Wouter
