2 Maintained Versions

2.1 Roadmap

2.2 Mantis Bug Reports

All open issues reported or modified since the last Jour Fixe were screened by the product manager before the Jour Fixe and assigned to the responsible developers if necessary. The following issues were discussed in detail:

2.3 Bugfixing Statistic

Bug reports[1] set to status 'open' and not been touched by responsible maintainer for more than 21 days (checked this morning) as well as bug reports with priorisation voting:

* New votes: bugs priorised within the last 14 days   ** Old votes: priorised bugs before last JF (older then 14 days)   *** Resolved: Resolved or closed bug reports in the last 14 days

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.

2.4 Open Pull Requests to Discuss

2.5 Continuous Integration

2.6 Performance monitoring:

Pascal will present new results on the next JF.

3 Publishing ILIAS 6

First stable release 6.0 of new ILIAS version 6 has been published at May 18, 2020.

4.2 ILIAS 7 Test Installation

4.3 Suggested Features

1. Mail: Optionally use globally defined Reply-To email address : We accept this feature request due to privacy reasons. Matthias will have a look at the byline to guarantee that the effect of this setting is obvious: replies on mails from ILIAS won't be possible any more.

2. Multi language support for Custom Metadata : We still would like to have this feature and re-schedule it for ILIAS 7 with the requirements made in the last JF decision 2019.

3. Setup - Abandon Multi Client : We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept to abandon multi-client support of ILIAS with version 7. For those who are interested in a migration of clients into distinct installation can contact Richard for a conceptual discussion. But such a migration would need additional funding. PR are highly appreciated.
   
   We would highly appreciate to have a dedicated page that lists components and features where multi-client-related code can be removed (e.g. login procedure). But this would require additional funding.

4. Setup - Refurbish web based GUI and fallback: Setup - Abandon web based GUI: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7. In case we have no funding for this feature until July 31, 2020, we will remove this feature request from the list of features for ILIAS 7 and abandon the web based GUI as suggested in Setup - Abandon web based GUI. Anyone interested in funding this feature should get into contact with Richard.

5. Improve Mediacast Video Presentation : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7. Please check how existing KS elements could be improved to realise this request. Additionally, it should be possible to add an overview screen in the Settings as start screen to give users an option to see all (or at least a huge amount of) videos in one view.

6. Use Mediapool objects in Mediacasts : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7. We prefer Alexander's suggestion for adding objects from media pools as posted above on May 10.

7. Learning Progress for Videos according to viewing progress : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7.

5 Miscellaneous

Feature Wiki

Until now, bigger development projects in ILIAS have often got an extra page where related feature requests have been listed and general information about a development activity has been presented. The structure of such pages had no requirements yet, so everyone created his or her own version. The product manager wants to suggest and discuss a template for such pages, see Template for a new Project Page.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 25 MAY 2020 : Suggestion is appreciated by JF participants. Table in chap. 4 could also be substituted by page lists with metadata. Related feature wiki requests should get a "Related to project xy" info box to improve navigation between requests and project page. Suggestion will be presented on TB meeting at 26 MAY for final approve.
