[DG: Teaching & Learning] [DG: User Experience] Sakai Open Academic Environment confirmed as official Sakai Foundation project

[Michael Feldstein]

Think of it as a code name. Both private source and open source software projects use code names while software is in development (e.g., Firefox 1.5's code name was Deer Park, and Netscape's code name before that was Mozilla). Sometimes these code names end up becoming final brand names (e.g., Mac OS X Leopard, Tiger, etc.) and sometimes they don't. I don't think it's a problem as long as there isn't a big effort to push OAE as the new brand hotness. For now, the point is that the project is not an incremental update to Sakai 2.7 but, rather, a completely different project.
