* Talked to Bonita and Julie about latency issues when changes are made to WebDB. Julie suggested that we have the "load_from_banner.pl" script run more often (possibly several times a day) to resolve these issues; but we did not think that would be necessary. If changes are being made directly inside WebDB, the load from Banner would not fix this. And since WebDB will no longer be used for online registrations, we may not notice the latencies in the future.

• Worked with Gus and Gil to do a little PHP/Perl/SVN training.

Gil and Gus

• Continued to study the WebDB technologies.
• Worked on documenting the design for the "Countdown Survey" project's database.

To-Dos

Gil and Gus

• Continue working on documenting the "Countdown Survey" project.
• Help Nate with the "serveOrphan.php" code and checkout SVN repositories to play with.

• Has been working on the twiki site.
• Worked on the Midterm Progress Reporting Tool and determined that the issues reported were due to two different instructors submitting reports for the same course (due to lab assignments). We decided that the issues could be resolved by encouraging better communication between the instructors and informing the Registrars Office that they may need to edit such entries manually after posting has occurred.
• Looked into the suggestions for "serveOrphan.php" and decided that the "calling" PHP in "serveOrphan" just needs to be modified to call the regular functions (instead of the "orphaned" versions they are attempting to use now). That will eliminate the duplicated, out-of-date code and look better in the framed window from Luminis.

Gil and Gus

• Have obtained a copy of the current Questionnaire and started thinking about the underlying database design.

To-Dos

Nate

• E-mail Randy and Betsy about "grevegr" vs "greveke"
• E-mail to registrar explaining situations, options for leslie b and jessa w
• Revamp service; use normal versions of timesheet/comxodx/etc with a smarter service.php (to handle header, tabs, footer strip)

Gus

• Use lessons we went over to keep on keeping on with housing questionaire. Share notes with Gil. Have a little something for Thursday.
