Re: UU Courses and classes



You can put your uu.xmi into your SVN repo now.
Regarding your class diagram changes - let's try to
design it in somewhat more flexible way. Specifically,
access-granting control rules may change in future.
Let's make it possible to change them without rewriting
lot of code.
