Charles: 

• Only 1/2 hour left, planning to
• Make a dump of DB with anonymized data available
• Export of SVN files
• So Jessy can get started
• Start looking at webcraft integration ("context"?)

Priorities:

• Performance (see below)
• Keep course menus consistent across all tabs? - Changes have been made, need to be rolled out to production [Charles]
• Workflow for creating courses [George to focus on this week, keep Charles in the loop, see below for more detail]
• Webcraft integration [Charles to start thinking about - probably only start development next week]
• "Accept Terms of Site" checkbox during sign-ups [postponed for next week, at least]

Other Todos:

• Philipp to look at spam/comments and reply if changes to current solution are required

George:
Leave dates: Jul 31 - Aug 8
Will be available for urgent issues. If so, phone me on 083 304 6630


Performance:

• George to send more details to Andre (Andre has to make some changes) / cc Philipp
  • Mainly adjustments to mysql settings
• Philipp to create pingdom account, then forward details to George [Done]
• Philipp to ask Andre to look at linode documention to see why Apache crashes completely rather than getting slower over time, before crashing.
