It would be great if on the "research student status" pages, we could somehow visualise those students who are less than 3 months away from their maximum study period. I would also theon to generate an email at the deadline minus 3 months to the supervisor (cced to iSS) warning them of the deadline, and to get in touch if there is a problem.

Extend if necessary the media server at media.inf.ed.ac.uk to provide (potentially) large (and growing) file storage area for internal hosting of media, videos, lecture components, etc. at a stable long term URL. Allow for serving as hintyed for streaming and download via http:// protocol and also ensure it can stream content in real time with rstp:// protocol concurrently at a medium scale. Larger events and synchronous classes would continue to be handled by extenal streaming means. Allow for real time event streaming at modest (workshop and on-line class) scale (say 50 streams) using sdp announcements from live feeds from authorised users.

This would be a major rescoping of the current media.inf service, which was really a simple solution to avoid storing large binary files inside CVS, that would otherwise belong on www.inf.ed.ac.uk.

Did we not once have an Apple based media streaming service in Informatics?

I think all that's required here is an agreement to create a URL like www.inf.ed.ac.uk/ research/courses/
