Progress status marking

Status dates 

• When the status is "Done" the date indicates the done date.
• When the status is "In progress" the date indicates the planned done date.
• When the status is "Not started! the date indicates planned start date
• When the status is "Unspecified" the date indicates the date when there is a plan

JIRA Backlog and Epics

Possible way to use jira-epics/issues to commonly follow progress:

Based on the system architecture (see System Architecture). Each country can of course have other epics/issues as well and are free to drill into these in their own way. But a common high level epic-structure allows for common reporting. This structure is also focused on achieving the end goal of being ready for the field trial.

Suggested EPICS:

• Study course search and selection
• Authentication
• Communication between nodes (NCP/SMP/EMREG/SIS)
• Logging
• UAT
• Ready for field trial

First draft for a JIRA backlog in Finland

EMREX-17 Make selection from Study records (Virta data) (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-19 PDF generation and signing (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-20 XML generation and signing (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-18 Send selected courses to SMP (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-14 HAKA authentication for NCP (Authentication)

EMREX-16 Get all data from Virta (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-15 Accept SMP POST-request (Authentication)

EMREX-28 ELMO-data callback to SMP (Communication between nodes)

EMREX-33 PDF-donwload (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-12 NCP Selection (Communication between nodes)

EMREX-10 SMP Login (Authentication)

EMREX-13 University selection (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-29 Match session and store callback data on SMP (Communication between nodes)

EMREX-30 Verification of student match on SMP (Authentication)

EMREX-31User accepts data and verification result (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-32 SMP sends data to University (Communication between nodes)

EMREX-34 SMP sends copy of data to users email if requested (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-35 Specify Logging Data (Logging)

EMREX-27 Retrieve course description from university (Study Course Search and Selection)

EMREX-36 Administrator access to logs (Logging)

It is possible, at least in Finland, to link from the jira-epics/issues to wiki. Thus there is no need to update wiki, it will automatically be updated with the latest jira-status of the tickets shown. As an example (you might have to be logged in to see the actual description and status?):

Finland- NCP develoment:

Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

Collaboration tools for developers

The project uses flowdock as a chat-tool. Please keep it open and check if there are any quick questions that you can answer.

Anybody can invite others, so you can invite your colleagues. Or send an email to Mats and he'll add you

Other stuff

WP3 tasks are mainly technical ones. Based on the requirements from work package 2, implement technical solution for National Contact Points and the Student Mobility Plug-in. The work package will be executed through regular project meeting and workshops, both face to face and remote meetings. There will be organized workshops for development and deployment for these solutions.

Activity: Open Source mechanisms

The code developed in the project will be open source. The mechanisms to share this code will be clarified in this WP

Activity: Development of National Contact Points

A National Contact Point has to be developed for each country. In this work package, a foundation for such a contact point will be developed. Based on this foundation each partner in the project signed up for implementing the solution will develop their own.

Activity: Development of Student Mobility Plug-ins

The Student Mobility Plug-in is a common service for collecting data from other higher institutions, via a National Contact Point. The student will be in control of the data exchange.

Activity: Deployment of the National Contact Point and the Student Mobility Plug-in

Each partner signed up for implementing the solution must deploy the National Contact Point and the Student Mobility Plug-in in one or more web applications for applicants and/or students.

Activity: Security

The information exchanged in this solution is personal. It is necessary to implement solutions to secure the integrity and confidentiality in the data exchange.

Activity: Technical documentation

Make technical documentation for the National Contact Point and the Student Mobility Plug-in, including examples of use.

ELMO

ELMO is uses as exchange format in EMREX. More information at the pages for WP6 Standardisation

A viewer has been developed to show the contenct of an ELMO document in a more human way. This code can as well be used as a starting point for the ELMO viewer in NCP's and Emrex-clients.

The viewer can at the moment be testes at this site: http://matija.no/elmo/
