Subject: Fw: note on Kavi status
UBL members, FYI. Jon ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2004 14:52:07 -0400 From: "Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org> To: chairs@lists.oasis-open.org CC: "'Scott McGrath'" <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org> TC Chairs: I'm writing to let you know the status of various bug fixes and suggestions/requests for functionality upgrades to the Kavi collaborative tools. In the 14 months since we first rolled out the Kavi system we have received two sets of upgrades to the software from Kavi Corporation, from whom we have licensed this system. These upgrades addressed a number of reported bugs and also included a number of performance enhancements. We are currently beta testing a software upgrade that we expect to have installed and running live on our servers within the next two or three months. This upgrade addresses a number of bugs and enhancements that have been high on our list for quite some time and requested by many of you, including the following: * Sorting of TC rosters and meeting attendance rosters by membership role; i.e. the chair or secretary can sort the meeting attendance roster to list all Members together, all Observers together, etc. * Better enforcement of the OASIS TC Process by forcing all documents, events, etc. to be shared. * Better enforcement of the OASIS TC Process by attaching voting rights to a specific membership role; i.e. all Members will have voting rights, rather than having a separate checkbox on the roster which specifies whether Members can vote or not. * Repeating events can be set up with arbitrary numbers of weeks; e.g. you can create a meeting that repeats every three weeks. * All time zones will be supported for events rather than just a short list. * Support for multi-byte text throughout the database, including e.g. in document names, group notes, etc. The upgrade will also include some improvements in the user interface, system notifications, and various configuration options. I'm quite pleased to see the above functionality finally provided. OASIS provides the Kavi system to our TCs to make it easier for the TCs to operate in a consistent and process-compliant manner. We hope that with the implementation of the above described enhancements, OASIS members and especially TC chairs will be able to make even better utilization of this member collaboration system to enhance their work on OASIS TCs. --Karl ================================================================= Karl F.
