Tasks in preparation for start of a new Term/Semester.

A larger annual list of tasks can be found here.

• Deploy new TA computers.
• Make TA accounts if at all possible.
• Make Mailing lists
  • Freshen CS/IMGD/RBE Majors/Minors lists and mail-aliases.
    • In A-term, ensure all class-years are represented by the various majors mailing lists.
    • Also ensure that you're not emailing old departed class-years that are now gone.
  • update TA group mailing list (usually not in summer)
  • update SA group mailing list (usually not in summer)
  • Update Grad/Ugrad course mailing lists.
    • make sure CCC knows about the class mailing lists (-ta, -sa, -all, -staff for each list). These must be registered using a script in ~mvoorhis/recipients; this task should be automated.
  • Populate class-specific TA and SA mailing lists.
  • Do we know which faculty are teaching all the courses? Look for “unknown-faculty” in the class aliases.
• TA ID numbers–sometimes tough as we may not know who they are; they may not be registered…
• keycard lock lists.
  • Office Hours area (TAs and SAa)
  • WICS (will be housed in ACM area in the future?)
  • Others?
• Make class web areas (for faculty that want them), i.e., ~cs1234/public_html/a09.
• Make CCC Unix groups if needed
• CCC /cs/cs[12345]* dirs created for faculty that want them
• CLI Turnin class lists set for faculty that want them
• Bullpen is ready (no more) ?
