- Call for Participation – Deadline: 20 August 2025
2 Technical Board
This topic on our agenda should improve the information flow between the Technical Board and the society members and ILIAS users.
Abandoned Components (see: https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/9177)
- We started to look into each and every component that is listed and we are trying to find individual solutions for all components.
- Please remove your usage of the component "CSV" or replace it with "Excel" until coding completed of ILIAS 11. You might either use that component directly or you might still have a legacy table that supports CSV exports. Please make sure to drop that dependency in both cases. There also is a mail about this on the developer-mailinglist.
Security-Updates:
- Please remember that security issues need to be handed in as patches in the issue tracker. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- Please make sure that they do not contain any unrelated changes to keep their footprint as small as possible.
- See: https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/blob/trunk/docs/development/security.md#process-for-fixing-security-issues
Current Activities:
- Call for bids to tidy up maintenace files and get a better overview of component structure is almost ready
- For example: automatic testing pipelines in the future may include accessibility testing for valid html
- We are working with Thibeau on a solution for the cross-plattform issue with npm packages:
https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/9361 - DevConf Call for Papers: https://docu.ilias.de/go/dcl/16741
3 Miscellaneous
3.1 UI Clinic
Our UI/UX/A11y experts Yvonne Seiler and Kendra Grotz are offering bi-weekly UI clinic consultation hours for UI/UX and accessibility topics. The consultation hours are open for all users that need or are interested in related help for their ILIAS development activities. The UI Clinic consultation take place every Wednesday before the Jour Fixe from 10h30 to 11h30.
If you are interested in discussing an issue, please register here!.
3.2 Privacy Clinic
In the Privacy Clinic, you can get advice on how to protect user privacy and effectively navigate the complexities of data protection in the context of ILIAS. Our privacy experts Seidel, Elyesa [seidel], Gribchenko, Kseniia [ksgrie] and a member of the Technical Board are offerin support in all privacy related issues. The Privacy Clinic has consultation hours every Wednesday after the Jour Fixe from 13h30 to 14h00. Please announce the topic you want to discuss by e-mail: privacy@lists.ilias.de
Elyesa prepared a checklist to make it easier to check for privacy issues in new feature requests, see PR9932. Everybody is invited to add comments and questions to the PR. They will be tackled on the JF at 01 SEP.
3.3 Authorities
The process for changing authorities is described here.
3.3.1 Authorities to be Handed Over
For the following components there are authorities to be handed over:
- CSS: Amstutz, Timon [amstutz] will give up all his authorities for this component by the end of the year. We are looking for developers who are interested to take over the Authority to Sign off on Code Changes together with Engländer, Ferdinand [fenglaender].
- Maps: Klees, Richard [rklees] would like to hand over all his authorities for Open Layer Maps to another developer. Google Maps is deprecated.
- Survey: Killing, Alexander [alex] would like to hand over all his authorities for this component to another developer.
- Tagging: Killing, Alexander [alex] would like to hand over all his authorities for this component to another developer.
Community members who are willing to take over one of the offered authorities are highly appreciated. In case of interest, please contact the Technical Board.
3.3.2 Requests for Modifying Authorities
Requests to modifiy authorities exist for the following components [1]:
- none
3.3.3 Changed Authorities
Authorities have been changed for the following components:
- none
3.4 Feature Wiki
New block for suggesting features
Due to reported problems of users who have not understand where to add a new feature request on the category page of a component, Matthias has created a new block for directing users to this list of new requests (see here for example). We will update all category pages in the next weeks.
3.5 Mantis
If just posting an image/screenshot as reply to an existing issue, Mantis does not show this image to everybody but to developers only. This is a weird behaviour of Mantis which we cannot change. So please just add a short text to your image (at least ‘Here's a screenshot’) to allow everybody to see this image and get the message of the posting.

- none
Postponed to next Jour Fixe
4.3 Mantis Statistic
Current information from Mantis:
* … Issues with status 'open' and 'fix.acc.prio.' are recorded.
To place the current data for each JourFixe in the context of a specific course of development, you can see the trend over the last months here.
4.4 Changed Behaviour in Maintained Versions
Below we list all changed behaviour in the full maintained ILIAS versions. This information is managed in a dedicated media pool to which all developers should have access. If not, please contact Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel].
- Test & Assessment: Import of Tests with Results: It is no longer possible to deselect questions during the import.
- Test & Assessment: Filter "Active Users only" / "Inactive Users only" in Manual Scoring is removed.
- Test & Assessment: "Auto-saved" or intermediate answers are not saved anymore as authorised answers when the set test duration limit ends.
- Test & Assessment: Zero will no longer be accepted as value for points in File Upload Questions.
- Test & Assessnment: The redirect after finishing the test does only work if the participant does not have access to his test results. The info for this setting stated this, but until this bug fix with 44025, the redirect always "wins." 44025 was fixed with ILIAS 9.8, but many institutions are upgrading now to ILIAS 9. So we decided to document this bug fix nevertheless within Changed behavior.
- Test & Assessment: Redirect: Starting with Version 9.15, we introduce a separate option to redirect to the logout screen, as redirecting to https://instance.url/logout.php does not work anymore since ILIAS 9.13.
- Learning Sequence: With ILIAS 9.15 an ambigousness within the Online Status of Learning Sequences was fixed. Due to the resolvement of this corrupt state certain Learning Sequences that apperently seemed online are correctly portait offline. Affected are all Copies of Learning Sequences there where included in a container copy process and not accessed since then until the release of ILIAS 9.15
- Data Collection:
- The new field type "Copy" was added to the data collection and can now be selected for new fields! A copy field shows a selection of values from another tables entry and copies those to its own value without a reference, making it robust against manipulation and deletion of the origin value.
- Media objects:
- We moved to native video tags which do not officially support srt files for subtitles. The supported standard is WebVTT. ILIAS tries to convert srt to vtt on the fly. You will be not able to upoad srt files anymore, please use vtt files instead, see https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=43935
- Object:
- Titles and Desciptions will always be interpreted as strings. Contained html-tags are encoded and shown in their literal form.
- Test & Assessment:
- Cloze questions do not offer the option to edit gaps in modals anymore. All gaps are available, as previously, underneath the cloze-text input field.
- Redirect: Starting with Version 10.3, we introduce a separate option to redirect to the logout screen, as redirecting to https://instance.url/logout.php does not work anymore since ILIAS 10.1.

5.7 Preparing the Testing of ILIAS 11
5.7.1 Test Installation
New installation test11.ilias.de is now prepared for update to 11 (cleaning of outdated content and lost objects). We keep major parts of the existing content from test10. As already annonced on test10 we have deleted the old sandbox and also pruned parts of the existing objects in our test category.
If anyone needs an empty test environment for specific purposes, please contact Kruse, Fabian [Fabian] to discuss on how to proceed. Additonal existing (or possibly also new) test installations could be used for retests if required. Test cases could be amended accordingly.
5.7.2 Test Case Lab will return
After the culmination of the test phase for ILIAS 10, our Test Case Lab will return to improve existing test cases. Meetings of Test Case Lab: every Tuesday from 11:00 to 11:45.
Please contact Kruse, Fabian [Fabian] if you would like to participate.
5.8 Project 'Removing of Legacy-UIComponents-Service and Table'
- Organisation : Next meeting on Monday, 8 September 2025, 14:30 – 16:00
- Project Scope :
- The prioritisation of topics is currently in discussion with the Technical Board.
- Last meeting and meeting before was used to discuss the status of some UI components. The last meeting was reduced to a brief exchange as there were only a few participants due to the various holidays.
- Project Funding : Supplementary funding from the University of Bonn and the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Many thanks for this !
5.9 Suggested Features for 11
Unbundling of Admin Permissions: Thanks for updating the feature request according to the results of the RBAC workshop. We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the FR for trunk.
Guided Tour: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk. In addition to the feature request Alexander notified us that
- the content style used by the Guided Tour is the default content style of an installation. There is no specific content style for Guided Tours.
- the 'Edit Settings' permission within the Help administration is needed to create a Guided Tour and edit it while ‘Read’ permission shows only which tours exist and does allow any changes.
Add Users to Exercise using course roles: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk with the following clarifcation:
- The View Control shall show all local roles of the course, not only the default generated ones. Local roles from parent nodes above the course are ignored.
