Notes

Pull Requests

The group approved the following pull requests (best practices and spec clarifications):

• #748 - Adjust best practice 15
• #747 - Update to best practice #1
  • This was discussed at length with a change made to retain the use of the "parent" property.
  • The Objectives use case doesn't explictly fit the properties (parent, grouping, category, other)
  • An xAPI search of objectives data could be done with “related activities”
• #746 - Add AU initialize behavior to the Conceptual Model
• #744 - Remove xAPI section reference for Activity Profile API.
• #742 - Polish sample heading
• #741 - Fix language preferences in samples

The group discussed Pull Request #749 at length, it proposed a change to the "reason" extension making it a "language map" and the addition "error" extentsion. And alternative aproach was proposed where "reason" would be as follows:

• "Reason" (a machine readable code) + "Reason Explanation" (Human readable with a Language Map)

This approach could serve a structure for more statments beyond Wavied (like Abandoned, and other unforseen use cases)

Since this is new functionality it will be considerded for a future release of the spec after more discussion.
