[Contrib: Evaluation System] Evaluation Strategy for 3akai

[John Norman]

While what we have of 3akai will run in production from this summer,  
it will not be a full substitute for Sakai 2 and therefore will sit  
'in front' of a full Sakai 2 instance. It will support the academic  
social networking use cases and a new type of group site with whatever  
'vignettes' are ready. Most course sites will remain on Sakai 2 for  
the coming year. We see this as a technology preview rather than a  
full release. We haven't done any planning regarding Evaluation System  
yet, nor many other tools, because we are very resource constrained.
