Hi, all. Just a reminder that we'd like you to vote on user stories in jira within the next few days, as an indication of which user stories still describe needs for your institution. There are still 150 stories that have received no votes. Next week, we'll close as "Won't Fix" any that have no votes (unless they've been updated in 2012). It takes mere minutes to peruse the list <http://opencast.jira.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10589>, and seconds to vote on any that are still relevant to you.
Thanks to those of you that have already voted, and thanks in advance to those that will do so in the next few days. Judy p.s. One glitch that I've encountered is that it won't let me vote on any that I reported. If so, there are two ways to ensure the ticket doesn't get closed next week: 1) change the reporter to someone else, and then add your vote, or 2) update the ticket with a comment, e.g. that it's still relevant to you.
