[Contrib: Evaluation System] Evaluation Strategy for 3akai

[Steven Githens]

Yup, thanks!

Mostly just curious and pondering about integration and migration 
strategies.... while I'm sitting here going through and 
categorizing/formalizing/documenting all our local customizations in 
preparation for Sakai 2.6 (since it's a good opportunity to go through 
and disambiguate/clarify changes that have been made). 

Source code anthropology is exciting stuff.

Again, the Evaluation system is an interesting use case since it was 
designed to be decoupled/standalone and not necessarily depend on the 
concept of 'sites'.
