General Information
Grouping: Invitations (social office) Short description: Waiting for new versions of SO or coding by VM and SK?

30.11.2011
VM and NB had discussion about what to do about this topic. Even though LR 6.1 Beta 4 version right now does not provide any improvements in the invitation portlet, we would like to proceed with the migration of the development to 6.1 beta version. Arguments to go for it are multifold:
 * eventually we have to bring our development to 6.1
 * the earlier we do it - i.e. the less things we have to migrate the better
 * the earlier we identify some potential critical bugs the better, we can feed back for resolution in the stable release
 * dynamic site templates already offered are bringing much better flexibility for managing project pages (i.e. change of the template will change all project pages automatically)
 * document library portlet we have to change anyway related to FITS files recognition (is better to do it directly on the 6.1 version which is substantially changed in comparison to 6.0.6)
 * Social office will anyway be better - it's a question of time
 * Invitations - as we need them - we anyway have to extend, so would be better to do them directly on 6.1

 * invitations portlet is available in migrated version of LR on development server.
 * invitation messages need to be configured.
 * to check if the current invitation matches the expectations for 0.5
