To Sakai community members.

HEC Montréal is proud to annonce the release of the first Contrib version of
*OpenSyllabus*.

*Description*

OpenSyllabus is an easy-to-use course site authoring tool that organizes
quickly all the resources (files, citations, etc.) and tools (assignment,
test&quiz, etc.) to provide clear guidance to  the students in their
learning. OpenSyllabus has many other nice features including the
integration to annoncements and the creation of PDF versions.

you deploy the sdata.war file is deposited in your tomcat/webapps folder.
