[Announcements] Sakai Open Academic Environment (OAE) Q1 Pre-Release

[Alan Marks]

The steering group and project team are pleased to announce that the Sakai
Open Academic Environment (OAE) Q1 Pre-Release is now available.



This pre-release in particular emphasizes the functionality for academic
networking and collaboration. It is intended for review and to support the
development goals of the project and not for use in production.


This pre-release is:
 - a significant milestone release of a new emerging product of the Sakai
community
 - useful for OAE developers as a platform for development
 - intended for as a means for the public to get a real world taste of the
OAE experience and technology,
 - useful as a platform to run a pilot with your faculty and students

This pre-release is NOT:
 - intended for production use
 - a scalable platform for course management in most colleges or
universities

Future releases may:
 - include changes that preclude migration of data from the Q1 release
 - incorporate significant changes to UI and content layout based
upon further testing and feedback



For those interested in downloading and installing the release, information
is included below.

contributions of all of those who have made this release possible. While the
list is too long to acknowledge individually, thank you to each of you for
your hard work.
