thanks Aaron.  I think we will take your advice and accept a list of people to share. Can I add your comments to Jira?

I take your point about items and scales, I was a little worried about these too.

| 
| This is a pretty fundamental design switch in the way the tool works.
| Evals is user centric and you are trying to force it to be site
| centered instead. I understand that is how many tools in Sakai are
| made but it is not fundamentally how this one is. I think this change
| will end up adding a huge amount of complexity as it is a major shift
| in the permissions model so it really needs to be approved by all the
| schools in production before it goes into the tool trunk (you are
| welcome to make this change locally of course without waiting for
| anyone else).
| 
| The suggestion to setup sharing with other users is much more inline
| with the user centric way the tool currently works and is probably a
| better way to handle things (IMO).
| 
| I think you probably would need to extend this to include items and
| scales to avoid confusing the users. If you don't it should be ok
| assuming the items/scales are made public somehow.
