allow professor to modify other profile attributes

[mahiggs]

professor name
professor title
professor office
professor email

what else?

Should we let them set titles? Seems like that could be abused. Well, probably not, but...

Yes. Allow them to modify: name, title, email, office, phone. Do not allow them to edit their kangaroo webpage. Add a user editable personal webpage link.

Many faculty have requested the ability add additional labeled blocks to their calendar (regular meetings, off campus times, etc).

if a faculty is current "inactive", we should drop back to an inactive page with little to no information.

we should only show a limited teaching history: probably only the current semester and the previous major (FA, SP) semester.

We need to order teaching history in reverse chronological order (fall 2012 before summer 2012 before spring 2012 before janterm 2012).

Thanks!

I am working on getting IT to create us reports. Bill Edgette thinks he can run these in a cron job and push them into a share volume and we can avoid most of the page scraping. He has asked for a detailed specification for each report and is requiring that I go through the normal IT project request process (hoops).

That's great, the report will be a big help. With cron, we might even be
able to automate it. No copying/pasting.

I can help with the specification of the report, but I'll need a few
specifics, like what types of formats they can do (JSON? XML? flat files
are probably bad since they can't add new fields in later...) and maybe
some hints towards what layout their data is currently in. My interest is
making the import highly reliable and long lasting, so the less they have
to diverge from their native schema, the better. We always can do the fancy
stuff on our end.

(I'm assuming this is a good approach? The alternative is to ask them to do
more work to make the report closer to our schema.)
