investigated the multi property value for dublin core problem. Most of it work, but for old content, you will have to touch the node for alfresco to make the model change. Opened a ticket with Alfresco. Also working on th-482 with Alfresco.

almost nil

Finish Continuum work.

1) The only site with meaningful Continuum documentation was being DoS'd all day yesterday.  2)  A bunch of non-Thalia quasi-operational stuff came up that needed most of my time. 3) Some much-delayed dental work has become undelayable and will consume an as-yet-unknown portion of my day.

Justin

1. Finished up as much load time work as I feel should be done in this sprint

1. Clear up remaining sprint 2 tasks (deleting images from slideshow, ss player in separate window, button highlighting in ss player)

Qing

tickets are cached now and the app seems to function ok

change the thumbnail permission and modify the item servlet to get thumbnail, large, and medium images. Make sure the performance is acceptable

Robin

1. Met with SAP, wrote up notes, entered tasks into JIRA
2. Worked more on referencing problem with datasets within a class
   

1.  Write up and send to Open Laszlo description of problem I'm having; ask them to make it a high-priority incident.
2. Look through bug list, see what else I might get done for this release.

not feeling well, will be online as much as I can, but likely will be taking naps/breaks

Andrew

More continuum debugging.  I think I understand how to fix the email and release problems.  (Though mostly not a Thalia day.)

More of the same.

Bleeding-edgeness of continuum now *very* apparent.

Arnis

Hunter

removed my own simple caching classes from the code and replace the user cache with ehcache
start to implment ticket cache

continue implemeting ticket cache

Robin

Andrew

Learned more about the continuum server and did more setup work on it; it should now be doing everything we want except for the deployment to thalia-dev.

Get auto-deployment working and figure out why the mail that should be going out isn't.

Arnis

Hunter

Got Alfresco to cluster correctly w/ 2.1.1 and replication and index caching working correctly between al-fresco and al-dente.  The Alf, Inc. suggested method of dropping the new .WAR file in place and restarting fell down and went boom.  Ended up also bringing in a bunch of the new, rewritten, restructured config files to mix with the 'old' ones from 2.1E.  Many things moved from fringe config files to the core ones.  Should have the thaliaAdmin and guestUser accounts with default passwds, if anyone wants to play with them.

Testing al-fresco/al-dente with a Thalia front end.  May not get to set that up until later today, and really working on it until tomorrow night.
Goals: Decide if we want to use 2.1E or 2.1.1 for the release.  Get thalia-test set up on one of them by end of Sprint to begin testing with.  May go w. 2.1E on thalia-test proper and leave 2.1.1 up on al-fresco/al-dente so we can do side-by-side testing, if we want to go that route.

Alfresco.
Time. 
In training class MTuWed.

Janet

In touch w/Leah about site.
Emailed Michael Dutton about rescheduling usability testing.
Talked with Roz about hiring QA intern.
Contacted intern candidate to find out when best to call.

Contacting candidate - our schedules don't overlap well for the next few days.

Justin

1. created scriptable process for creating our UI art from source PSD files (refamiliarized self with Photoshop actions)

1. Deleting images from slideshows

1. Dividing time with Kerberos work

Qing

1. fixed out a bug on tagging code to allow deletion of all tags on an item
2. branched the code and started coding access control changes

continue coding on access control

not sure how caching ticket will work. lots of questions need to be answered, like how to avoid race condition and how to close connection so the alfresco session will not be left open. (the caching code needs to be both fast and robust)

Robin

1. Sent out tagging spec, updated from our meeting discussion, to QA.
2. Put in a fix for the auto-scrolling -- this needs testing though.

1.  Dig into the tagging changes

Have to go get blood drawn at some point, so will be out for an hour and a half or so
