[DG: User Experience] Sakai 3 frontend QA info

[Michael Korcuska]

I should explain our intentions for Jira with respect to Sakai 3.  
We've created two jira projects for the Sakai 3 work:  K2 and "Sakai 3  
Core".  K2 is the kernel and will include most server-side work  
(including the Groups work).  Those working on K2 will determine what  
components that project needs to keep things organized.

"Sakai 3 Core" is intended for non-kernel work and there are two  
components currently, "3akai" for the general UX framework and  
"Groups" for UX efforts on group management. We'll add other  
components as other projects related to creating Sakai 3 need them. It  
is arguable that we didn't need to create a separate component for the  
Groups project, actually. Note that non-kernel service work (a  
business logic layer) is likely to be tracked in Sakai 3 core as well.

The goal is to minimize the number of projects and to use components  
within these two "master" projects to organize the work. The main  
reason for two separate project is that K2 is likely to have a  
different release cycle from Sakai 3 and this strongly implies (if not  
requires) a separate jira project. When add-ons/extensions to Sakai 3  
become available (contrib work) they will likely also be separate  
projects as they will have different release cycles.

The Sakai Foundation staff has recently spent some time thinking this  
through (also Confluence, Mailman, SVN) and I expect Pieter to produce  
some documentation for community comment RSN.
