It was noted that a suggestion had been made to produce a web page describing the policy and/or procedure for creating Division-wide accounts. A first draft has been completed.
It had previously been suggested that the script written by Rainer Thonnes (and currently used to generate a significant proportion of Division accounts) should be examined to see if its scope can be extended. This is still ongoing.
Further investigation is required to establish the cause of the load on the Division DB and consequent slow response time. This is still ongoing.
Neil Brown reported that the web upgrade had been completed satisfactorily.
This was part two of the Divisional database exposition.

Ken presnted some notes and clarifaction on the management of computing staff and division-wide responsibilities.
Paul Anderson raised the question of usernames, and there was a suggestion that there should be some investigation of the EUCS scheme (SMS) as a model for the Division to generate usernames for all students.
Following on from above, it was agreed that the next meeting
should be held in the Central area, on Wednesday, 16th May.
