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

[Adam Marshall]

I see the point but everybody knows there's a thing on the way code-named 'Sakai 3' - why bother undoing all the publicity that is already out there? 

I agree totally with Bruce. Calling it "Sakai 3 - Open Academic Environment" would work for me.

| 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.
