E-mailContrib: Checklist (aka Process Navigator) and GradTools
Lead(s): Richard Ellis, Sean Michael DeMonner
Description:
A general purpose checklist tool.
Overview
The objective of this project is to "genericize" the GradTools tool which helps doctoral students track their progress toward degree and has been in use at University of Michigan for several years. The new tool will allow users to create and manage checklists of various types, outside of strictly tracking academic progress.
It is probably easiest to think of the checklist tool as a general purpose process navigator that could be used to track progress in completing any process that could be described as defined steps to be completed, optionally in a certain order.
Progress to Date
Significant work has been done to package the localized GradTools tools into a generalized Sakai tool. It is anticipated that the project team will present a 1.0 release version of the tool at the Sakai Boston conference, and also lead a BoF of interested parties at that gathering.
Version 1.0 Release Preparation
A number of Outstanding Issues are being tracked in Jira. Feedback on the remaining work for the Sakai 1.0 release and other requirements are welcome.
Other Information
The discussion started at the Summer 2005 Conference in Baltimore . Thanks to Andrew Perto for his summary .
