Good question. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, so here’s a really quick overview of what I’m currently working on, pretending to work on, worked on but haven’t done anything with, or planning to work on.
- Linking You, our current JISC project on institutional identifiers. Finishing up next week, and currently causing Alex and myself epic amounts of beating our heads against the desks.
- Jerome, our other JISC project on making libraries slightly more awesome.
- Zendesk Phase 2, including bits and pieces of integration work to make it smoothly flow through everything else we’re doing.
- Nucleus (and assorted fluff), our epic store of everything, being brushed up, pinned down and fully documented.
- Authentication being made even cooler, and more reliable, along with support for more stuff like SAML.
- GAME, our application management environment, being made more awesome.
- Room Bookings will be coming over the summer, allowing people to find and book rooms faster than ever before.
- Lots of QR Code goodness all over the place, including on room labels (this hooks up to room bookings for added goodness).
- Possibly a bit of hardware hacking in the Library with RFID stuff.
- CWD updates to version 3. Faster, lighter, more accessible and generally good.
- Total ReCal rollout to replace our legacy Timetable system (we hope).
- Replacing the legacy phone book with the new one (we hope).
- Data, data, data.
- A bit of mucking around with telephony, just for kicks.
- Taking another look at our Student Communications project to try and address a few annoyances.
Is that all?

What’s GAME? Tell us more…
GAME is just a nice front-end to let us (and users) administrate applications on the Nucleus platform. A full public-visible version (including the ability to add new apps) will be landing once Linking You is finished and I’ve got time to polish it.
