> Good day Michael!
> Please forgive my 'newbie' status to Sakai, my difficulty with  
> negotiating the keyboard, and ignorance to all things Sakai to-date!  
> I am a masters student with Kaplan University, and much of what I am  
> seeing and reading on the various pages of Sakai are foreign to me.
>
> I will continue searching and reading as I try to learn this new  
> language, yet request some sort of glossary of terms and acronyms  
> (i.e. I have no idea what the hell a CVN is, or Tomcat, etc.)
>
> I am a grandpa to Gen-Xers, and this entire platform is  
> overwhelming! In any case, I wish you all continued success (though  
> I couldn't possibly recant what or how your successes have been  
> achieved!) and I look forward to the day that I understand a great  
> deal more than I do today regarding Sakai. Also, please, what is the  
> meaning of the name 'Sakai', an acronym?
>
> In watching your YouTube video, I am heartened by the prospects and  
> seeming current-to-furture role Sakai plays in higher education, and  
> I hope to be an active part of the movement as I am able.
> Best wishes,
> Jeffrey
