currently SWS only allow registration searches *by section* for the current quarter. we had to implement this feature in this manner due to performance issues however we can work in fixing this problem if there is enough demand on campus for this

The Course Evaluations are currently available here: https://www.washington.edu/cec/
Could we add these to the SWS?

Give students a tool to automate class and assignment schedules across a standard api... e.g. Google Calendar APIs and Tools. This will save student time and ensure accurate communication of changes

I would like to have a service that lets me search for all students who's majors are within my unit. I suggest that the parameters for this search should be a Major (aka Curriculum) code and a Pathway code. The result would be a list of students represented in the SWS person micro format (Name and RegID).

Allow the input of multiple IDs in a single search request e.g. netid1, netid2, netid3 so that you can save network round-trips.

It now contains the catalog course description (good!). But adding these:
http://www.washington.edu/students/icd/
would allow devs to use all available course data. The new course catalog search using SWS can't fully replace the old Google-based search until it has access to ICDs.

It would be useful to have an API which exposes the required / optional material lists for courses. The basics would be books titles, isbn, and if they are required or not. Currently this information is not available at all through the UW, and must be retrieved from the U Bookstore (which is an independent entity).

Instead of requiring the curriculum and course number, allow a lookup to be performed with a given SLN number.

Provide a web service that allows access to the UW Online Work/Leave System (OWLS) data for employee schedules and available leave time.
Currently OWLS is a read only web interface for UW employees, forcing departments to implement their own systems for employees to request and get approval for leave time. This means that departments either have a cumbersome wasteful paper based system, or they implement a web based system where the schedule for every employee must be manually added into the system.

I have code that is generic enough that others could use it, but there isn't a place to share code.

A sourceforge/launchpad/codeplex-like area (hosted by UW or just a special tag for UW Web Services projects at either site) would be great. A forum would allow for knowledge capture, collaboration, and deduplication of efforts.

Generate a service to pull faculty CV data from Community of Science: http://www.cos.com/services/workbench.shtml

As a admin assistant for faculty, I constantly have to go to the SDB to look up add codes, then send them to faculty. The printed ones get lost by faculty. It would be great if the faculty had access to add codes on the teaching section on MyUW.

We are in the process of developing an online form for services requested from Disability Resources for Students. Most requests require that students provide us with their entire class schedule, so it would be great if that information was already populated for them based on thier NetID.

Schema based design helps communicate service contracts much better. It also helps some technologies like Java to build clients from the schema.
Schema first design is also handy in finding out changes between versions.

We do a few things based on SLN, and if you query section info too soon the SLN's are 0000.

What I'm doing now is making sure I don't query courses based on the relevant terms "registration_services_start" via the Term resource, which is more than a month after SNL availability noted here http://depts.washington.edu/registra/staffFaculty/calendars/tscal1011.php. This solution is a little hacky and I would love something more integrated.
