[DG: Teaching & Learning] Sakai 11 planning

[Neal Caidin]

Hi all,

We just are ramping back up on our planning for Sakai 11. I wanted to 
give you a heads up and to encourage thinking about the best way that 
the Teaching and Learning group can participate in the planning.  The 
Sakai Core team will be reviewing the Sakai 11 strawperson over the next 
couple of weeks [1].  A couple of ways of thinking about things are to 
pick a date to get most of our development done, leaving time for string 
freeze (allowing time for translations) and quality assurance testing, 
therefore limiting the scope to what we can realistically accomplish. Or 
pushing the date out further so we can get a greater amount of 
functionality into the release. Typically we might have a code freeze 
around the end of January for a release around May.

It's also possible that with core changes to the system (removal of 
iFrames, Morpheus responsive design, etc) we may want to have more time 
for burn in or perhaps even a separate beta release (Sakai 12?). In 
other words, the discussion on timeline and scope is pretty wide open at 
the moment. We will try and get some status updates on major features 
that could go into a Sakai 11.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Neal
