7 General Discussion

Please discuss specific questions of feature requests on the related feature wiki pages. This discussion section is only for a general discussion of the project and its realisation.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 21 FEB 2022: Meyer, Stefan [smeyer] presented the project at the Big Projects Jour Fixe and answered questions.

  • Relevance for strategic ILIAS development: Import validation in particular is important to prevent broken database structures in the future. Also relevant for security to reduce attack vectors.
  • Plan for ILIAS 9: Above all
  • Chance of realisation: Funding available, human resources available
  • Dependencies: Intersection with Resource Storage Service
  • Impact on other development activities: In principle, influence on all objects that support export/import.

Statement Technical Board, 2022 Apr 6: The export and import of ILIAS-Content can clearly be improved, and we thank Stefan Meyer to tackle this task. We see the importance specially concerning the validation of imports. We don't see special priorities regarding the resources of the Technical Board, but please make sure to involve the other maintainers impacted by any changes as early as possible.
