* Reports set to 'funding needed' are not listed.

Bug reports with status 'Fixing according to priorisation' should be fixed before other bugs are tackled. Priorised bugs very important for one or more institutional members of the ILIAS society. Handling this reports with low priority contradicts the intention of the established bug fixing process.

3.2 Feature Requests to be Discussed

The following features suggested for 5.3 were added to the data collection 'Suggestions for Jour Fixe Agenda' to be discussed today (see procedure documented in ILIAS community FAQ):

1. Suggested Changes in Labels for 5.3 and 5.4 : We discussed the following re-label suggestions:

   • Ad 2.1: We couldn't agree on a generic term for all target groups in courses/groups and ask the Online Help team to present the issue at the DecConf for further discussion and feedback. Note: The new term should also fit in the context of sessions.
   • Ad 2.1.2: "Group / Course Period" should be changed to "Period of Event".
   • Ad 2.2: The tab should keep the name "Participants". The sub-tab should be renamed to "List of Participants". The table gets a headline "Participants".
   • Ad 2.3: Suggestion postponed to JF when Björn Heyser will attend the meeting.
   • Ad 2.4: We ask the Online Help team to present the issue at the DecConf for further discussion and feedback.
   • Feature request presented by Tödt, Alexandra [atoedt]
   • Slot length: 15'

2. Reminder Mails in Courses : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 5.4. At the time being, we do not see a need for an individual setting to be notified or not.

   • Feature request presented by Bromberger, Norbert [bromberger]
   • Slot length: 15'

3. Copy Schedule When Copying Courses with Learning Plan : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 5.4. An option for Copy or Ignore is not needed.

   • Slot length: 15'

5. Individual date when node must be passed: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 5.3. Please move the button "Update from current plan" to a toolbar because this button is not related to an individual input in this table.

   • Feature request presented by Klees, Richard [rklees]
   • Slot length: 30'

6. Multicommands for members: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 5.3.

8. Usability Improvements Blog - Addition: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 5.3. We would like to have this label for inactive pages, too. In context "blog" ILIAS could show "Unpublished Posting", in all other contextes for inactive pages it could be "Inactive".

   • Feature request presented by Tödt, Alexandra [atoedt]
   • Slot length: 15'

9. Validated self-registration: We support the request in general. But we would like to have a suggestion how the notification texts for users are edited and managed in the administration. Additionally, we would like to have a suggestion for the domain filters.
