JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 25 NOV 2024: Alexandra reported on what has already been done to improve the calendar in ILIAS 10 and what is now to be tackled with 11. This also includes the implementation of CalDav for ILIAS in order to permanently get rid of current usage problems with the calendar.

Technical Board, … :

UI/UX/Ally-Experts, 05 DEC 2024: Cleaning up the calendar, getting rid of outdated code and the consistent use of UI components and standards such as CalDAV are steps that we generally consider to be positive and worthy of support. The broad impact of these measures appears to be rather limited and restricted to consultation hours. We consider the mentioned usability tests to be a useful approach and we would like the results to be made visible. We welcome it if the user testing provides findings that are also useful in other areas where the same problems occur (e.g. challenges with UI components).

Statement Privcay Clinic, 09 DEC 2024

From the perspective of the Privacy Clinic, we have carefully reviewed the project and found no issues or concerns that would warrant any objections. We highly recommend to implement this feature. However, if the scope of personal data changes during the course of development, we ask to be informed.
