Hi All: Hope everyone is having a good week. Highlights for the week include:
1. Risk to the timeline due to the late provision of a significant number of provider organizations added recently.
2. Topcoder is actively working to fix the judging bundle download issue, that is slowing down our ability to share final assembly (and other large contest files) with client.
3. IBM license test suite requires significant time to build and test POC. As well, there is always the possibility that the tests will show that further design/build work is required.
4. UI wireframes do not yet reflect changes requested by client to remove items. These changes will be made in the next 1-2 weeks via short bug races.
5. There are a relatively large number of contests running in Sept and Oct that will require client and topcoder input jointly.
For the full report, please see below. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know.
Thanks
Sarah

Issue: Client is concerned that feedback to UI wireframes are not being reflected in the final product (there are items to be removed).Action: Topcoder plans to run a series of short bug races to make the required changes. The changes expected to be completed in the next two weeks, and will be available for review then. |

Risk: A significant number of new provider organizations have been provided by client in mid-late September timeframe. As a result the time to complete the UI wireframes that included these new organizational types has increased.Action: Run the required organizational wireframes contests as aggressively as possible, including in parallel where possible, or with very short periods between contests where parallel is not possible. |

Risk:Topcoder is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the software that allows for downloading of judging bundle packages. In particular assembly contests results are affected. It is slowing down our ability to provide the client with the assembly contests results to reviewAction: Topcoder staff are working on getting the issue resovled with highest priority. |

Risk:IBM License test requires time to conduct test and review results. If the results are not as expected, a new/alternate strategy/discussions may be requiredAction: Expedite testing by using an IBM copilot to set up smart clouds, enabling POC testing on the IBM stack. |

Issue: Developers require API access to 3rd sites to check for licensing and other authorization information. Also concerns where there are expiration dates for licenses, licensing information is not available or if there is use of CAPTCH or other technologies that prevent easy reading of data on the 3rdparty external site. Update (Aug 16, 2012): MN DHS and CMS (state and federal health agencies respectively) are looking into getting API access.Alternate: Create well-formatted private web pages that allows for screen-scraping, and query with querystring tokens, post, etc | 07-26-12 |

Issue: Strategy required on IBM stack vs. generic stackResolution: Build two POCs ( “hello world” applications) and implement open source stack version. Client will then prioritize elements to port to the IBM stack |
