M2.12 – Ongoing module development supporting
prioritised features requested by users through WP3
The decision was taken in Month 1 of ViBRANT to upgrade the code base for the Scratchpads from
Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. This decision was made based on the average life cycle of a single Drupal
release, and also because a number of features that we had developed for Drupal 6 were now
included in the core of Drupal 7. There will be a number of other benefits from upgrading the
Scatchpad code base, including a performance increase, and reliability improvement. For this
reason, a number of the feature requests that have come to us from WP3 and also via the Scratchpad
issues queue1, have had to be delayed. These feature requests will, assuming they are reasonable, be
added to the queue of issues for Scratchpads 2.0 once it is released.
