Known problems affecting Sakai

Sakai was moved to version 2.5 May 19, 2008. This is a large enough change that we're restarting the problem list.

There are a number of minor issues in 2.5 that we'll work on in the next couple of weeks. They didn't seem serious enough to further delay bringing the system up. We'll handle them in the normal start time around 7am.

Here is a list of things that we consider misbehaviors. We aren't listing problems that were there in the old version and haven't been fixed yet.

• Chat sessions from the old system will not be there in the new one. The new chat is a completely new system, and doesn't inherit the data from the old one. The old data is still in the database. If you need it, please ask sakai@rutgers.edu, and we'll retrieve it.
• We're considering the colors in Discussions and Private Messaging
• In assignments there is now an option for the faculty member to be notified whenever a student submits an assignment. It doesn't seem to be working yet.
• During creation of a course, the "back" button may not work right if you're importing content from another course.
• When creating a course, the list of rosters you have access to is displayed in a slightly odd way. There are two lines for each section, only one of which you can select. Here's what is going on: Sakai is supposed to show one line for each course, with the course title, and then a list of all its sections underneath. At this moment it's treating each section like a separate course, and isn't showing the course title. We'll fix this by the end of the summer.
