ToDo
- Continue to Report CVS bugs....( all )
- Validate our XHTML and CSS and links( all )
- Install the W3C Log Validator to automate the above task..(Tom)
- Replace center tags with something valid XHTML/CSS (Jon) Update 03/08/06: This sort of spawned another project... The CSS is a bit lengthy so I'm also looking into tightening the CSS in general a bit. (Jon)
- Get feedback from the rest of the CS Department about AlumniDB
- Fix everything under /html/courses it is all out of date. Part of this is getting the XML feed working and the other part is organizing old course folders and the like. (Jon) Update 03/08/06: I just wrapped up debugging the XSL transforms for the feed, so that gnome on my back has been shot after many hours of frustrated gnome-wrangling. Now it looks like another two weeks and I'll hopefully be able to have a tangible product in place for dynamic fetching of the course list. (Jon)
- Fix AlumniDB admin function changeuser to show the info of the user that was switched to instead of admin's info on the 'view my info' page.
- Revert to yourself function is broken. Get a 404 error and your stuck as the new user until you relogin.
- Can't log in from the successful log out screen. Takes to main alumniDB page instead, even when user/pass is incorrect. 'request=' in address bar.
- Register function for AlumniDB is broken.
The Courses Project
Since I'm (albeit slowly) approaching the programming phase I thought maybe an opened discourse would be useful about my plans for making the course list dynamic. For efficiency's sake there's really no need to continually be parsing what will be pretty much a static XML feed from WebDB. So what I thought was we'll throw a perlscript in the Courses sub-directory and execute it from crontab every semester or so... It can pull in the XML, apply the XSL transform, and generate the course list. Dynamic, but not wasteful, is what I'm aiming for. Thoughts?
