Cases we don't handle well now: * sections that have ad hoc durations that don't correspond to terms. * sections that go on for indefinite periods of time (e.g., online courses). * sections that cross school year boundaries. Also, the UI for multi-term sections is still a bit rough. --Tom _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
