Hi all on the list
(CC to Matthew and Jason)


VASE hasn't been update since version 3 of enCore. To make the code 
compliant to version 5, it needs a serious code washing. Here is a range 
of tasks to do. Some of these are more important than others.

(a) to change all hardcoded html tags to $encore_web_utils-produced tags
     and make sure it validates
(b) move styles out of the code and into a stylesheet
(c) to move human language strings out of the code and into
(d) to insert :form_secure in form producing
     and applying security checks for form parsing
(e) rewrite GET requests to carry var=val,
     and URLs to use app name, not number
(f) remove broken links to external resources
(g) change the Appearance section to CSS
(h) fix error handling (e.g., for form submit with lacking values)
(i) rewrite the meta-refresh tags and rather call other verbs
(j) rewrite javascript confirm box to server side confirm procedure
(k) remove some hardcoded "Achieve" occurrences in headers

One of the most important things would be to connect VASE to the v5 
Uploader, i.e., exchange the VASE file upload function with the v5 Uploader.

OK... this list got longer than I thought... Still, is there anybody up 
for the challenge?
