Discussion
Current work tasks
Vivek – Accessibility
Progress is being made
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+accessibility
Misagh – gradle
No updates
Chris – config overlays, patches, packaging, installer admin
Ehcache done and working
Brown U will do some testing
Chris working with TIER Packaging Group
Installer does basic install, but this installer admin is for tasks like stopping and starting database, Tomcat, Loader, finding out where logs are
Installer Admin could be used in future to sync your config files, reducing need for so many DIFs
Doing group refresh in provisioning
Taking off full provisioning of a group? (might be better for the UI)
Configuring sources.xml has been a source of many questions
Chris suggests a screen in the UI for this
First convert sources.xml to properties
Shilen agrees there are many questions about sources.xml
Bert – PSPNG… Empty Group is next (conversation and coding)
Bert has completed several patches
Shilen – real time loader
Made progress on Loader
Patch for My memberships tab in the UI
Bill – TIER Grouper deployment guide
