Avanti
======

More changes in :ticket:`1466`. I am still fiddling with presences and
who is responsible for the generated events. I had to extend the
:class:`EventGenerator <lino_xl.lib.cal.mixins.EventGenerator>` API
(adding a method :meth:`eventgen_user
<lino_xl.lib.cal.mixins.EventGenerator.gen_event_user>`).  I started a
new specs document :ref:`avanti.specs.courses`.

I moved the workflows module from Voga to XL because I want to use
that workflow in Avanti as well.

UnicodeException
================

A stupid UnicodeException took me 1h30::

    AjaxExceptionResponse UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

    in request PUT /api/tickets/AllTickets/1473 (data: <QueryDict: {u'end_user': [u'Select a User...'], u'duplicate_of': [u'Select a Ticket...'], u'ticket_type': [u'Select a Ticket type...'], u'site': [u'welcht'], u'private': [u'off'], u'an': [u'submit_de...)
    TRACEBACK:
      File ".../lino/lino/modlib/notify/mixins.py", line 89, in msg
        subject = self.get_change_subject(ar, cw)
      File ".../lino/lino/modlib/notify/mixins.py", line 28, in get_change_subject
        return "{} {}".format(self, msg)

The error itself was evident: it came because I did not `from
__future__ import unicode_literals` in that file
(:mod:`lino.modlib.notify.mixins`).  The difficulty was to reproduce
it.  But finally I got it...  (in
:mod:`lino_noi.projects.team.tests.test_notify`).

Working with Tonis
==================

We added the RecentComments table.

As a side effect, Comment.owner is no longer a GFK but configurable as
:attr:`commentable_model
<lino.modlib.comments.Plugins.commentable_model>`.
Renamed RFC to `Commentable`.


TODO:

- Adapt test suite and verify that no comments on private tickets are

- Rename :meth:`get_slave_summary` to :meth:`get_table_summary` or
  something similar.
  
-
