Discussion
Current work tasks
Vivek working on Grouper Accessibility
see wiki
Hope to have a patch for Grouper 2.3 to address accessibility
Keith Wessel and Keith Haze from University of Illinois are helping with the Grouper Accessibility issues
Pregash - U. Colorado has an accessibility lab that can test once the code is in the Grouper demo server
Tom - there is another accessibility evaluator at U. Illinois
Misagh – grade
Chris

- - U. Chicago may also be interested
- -Will handle memberships in the background even if the user has not logged into Box recently
- - Will work well with fully patched Grouper 2.3
Bert – PSPNG
Shilen added patch for subject identifier / loader issue and this has been helpful for performance https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1212
Shilen plans to work on change log to improve performance
-working on change log for loader should yield incremental changes
Can this be a separate daemon from the loader?
Similar to Grouper changelog?
Should this apply to other events, such as creating a group?
Would be a value to having everything in one place
[AI] (Shilen) create a wiki explaining the design for the changelog for the loader
Question around real-time update to a loader job using a table
Include a simple use case on the wiki documentation
Chris: some loader jobs are triggered by complex queries, such as checking if a user is already in a group.
Grouper Changelog Consumer Table uses a good approach
IDIndex Patch - Shilen has finished this work
https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1382
