Discussion about Liferay 6.1 and Social Office 2.0
On August 19, 2011 Liferay (LR) 6.1 will be released as a beta version. Social Office 2.0 still has to be installed from the trunk. The question arose, whether we should continue using the stable Lieferay version 6.0.6 (on top of which Social Office 2.0 cannot be installed) or go for LR 6.1.


 * Arguments for LR 6.1 and Social Office 2.0
 * New design, will be the new reference for approx. 8 months.
 * Social Office 2.0 can be installed on top of it offering some importent new portlets like the invitation which otherwise have to be coded by Vlad and Sveto from scratch.
 * First coding the new portlets in 6.0.6 and then moving to 6.1 (which needs new coding) is additional work


 * Arguments for LR 6.0.6
 * It is risky to continue with a beta version (the 2011-08-19 release of Liferay 6.1 still is a beta version)
 * Once the differences between 6.1 and 6.0.6 have been well understood, moving the portlets from 6.0.6 to 6.1 should be easier
 * The installation of Social Office 2.0 is very difficult in LR 6.1, and up to date we did not succeed in doing so.


 * Compromise
 * We accept in the first version(s) of the demonstrator a really basic invitation portlet, so that the need of Social Office 2.0 is not too high.
 * We then rather continue with LR 6.0.6 until there is a more stable version of LR 6.1
 * The development of LR 6.1 is monitored


 * "New Tasks"
 * New tasks resulting from our discussion today will be formulated by Vlad, Jaiwon and Rupert who will be meeting next week


 * The team emphasizes that the opinion of Natasa will be of special importance

Minutes in General
The team agreed that the coordinators should write up the minutes for upcoming meetings. The minutes available in CoLab are then open for discussion/improvements/updates.

Discussion about Security within MediaWiki
To test the security of pages set to "access restricted" a test file (PDF) has been uploaded to this place - let's see, whether its contents will be visible (and downloadable) via Google or not.

Brief Discussion of Possible AWOB Talks on the eSciDoc Days
Several team members emphasized the importance of the eSciDoc Days and a presentation of AWOB there. Gerard and Andreas therefore should present AWOB on the eSciDoc days. The role of eSciDoc for the demonstrator should be discussed.
