Graded Discussions

@Edward Zarecor

  • A long time interest in the community has been to have credit associated with discussions participation.

  • There’s a roadmap ticket for it and some current projects need this feature.

  • Brian has proposed that we avoid pulling analytics into grading, but…

  • Would summarizing discussions participation via events as input into a discussion grade be a good path forward?

  • One advantage is potentially making graded discussions more easily available beyond a specific forum implementation.

  • Another advantage would be not implementation a “tallying” system in the comments services.

Ideas for future work

Roundtable

We’ve got OARS and the funded work in progress, and tracking log event cleanup / formalization coming this year. What else should Data be looking at for the future? Are there pain points in the platform that we should tackle? Deprecation of MongoDB and/or memcached? Moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL? What’s on your mind?
