LTGPublicWiki: Diff for "Frockle"

Introduction

Welcome to the Frockle project wiki. Our intention is to have the main project web-site hosted [http://frockle.oucs.ox.ac.uk here]. Until we have that up and running, this site will probably act as a temporary location for information we intend to move to that location before too long.

Links

• [http://frockle.oucs.ox.ac.uk Main] project web-site.

• Group project [http://frockle.blogspot.com/ blog].

• Alexis's Frockle related bookmarks on [http://del.icio.us/lxsocon/frockle del.icio.us].

• Source code is stored under version control using subversion [https://svn.oucs.ox.ac.uk/projects/vle/frockle/ here].

Initial User Requirements

• Facility to create/edit/delete user profile in VLE (in user's personal area).
• Profile should include details of research interests, and publication list.
• Ability to make profile public, or keep it private.
• Locate and view public profiles of known people, by searching/browsing using person's name.
• Locate people with similar or related research interests.
• Link to others to create personal networks. (Differentiate between two-way and one-way linking.)
• Navigate personal networks, preferably visually.
• Multi-level networks (e.g separate personal and work related networks).
• Add links to resources (in VLE) to personal networks.
• Share profile details with other systems or make same profile available in other systems (e.g. PDP).

Technical Requirements

• Code should be usable in multiple systems (e.g. Bodington and Sakai).
• Data shouldn't be in existing VLE database.
• Increasing VLE server load should be avoided.
• Application should be reliable, usable with different browsers with varying configurations.

• Ideally fit in with existing functionality in VLE, e.g. MyWebLearn personal spaces, keyword tagging and searching.
