> The changes described by SAK-25587 (and below) have been committed to 
> trunk and will soon be merged to Sakai 10. These changes are intended 
> to alter the default behavior (especially for new Sakai adopters), and 
> existing OSP users should be able to easily continue to use, create 
> and modify portfolio sites in Sakai 10.0 with the following change to 
> sakai.properties:
>
> site.types = course,project,portfolio
>
> Please let me know if you have any questions on how to re-enable 
> portfolios in Sakai.

> Thanks!

> Hi Beth,
>
> Will the visibility of the radio button be controlled via
> sakai.properties. If so, I think that would be fine as institutions that
> want to continue using OSP can set the property accordingly. I do think
> institutions should have the ability to enable the button and create new
> portfolio sites as long as they know what they are getting into. But
> hiding the button by default makes sense to me.

> Iḿ totally agree with Janice, for Latin American Institutions OSP plays

> A message to users of the Open Source Portfolio tools in Sakai:
>
> You may have recently heard about the proposed status of the Open 
> Source Portfolio (OSP) tools in Sakai 10. In the near future, a 
> proposal will be put forward to the Sakai Project Management Committee 
> (PMC) to do the following:
>
> *OSP in Sakai 10 Proposal: *The Sakai release team will disable the 
> Portfolio site type. This would mean that existing portfolio sites 
> could add OSP tools to existing sites, but users could not create new 
> portfolio sites in the default Sakai distribution. Re-enabling the 
> creation of portfolio sites would require a configuration change and 
> re-deploy. Alternately, an admin user could change the site type in 
> the Sites tool to convert newly created sites to portfolio sites. The 
> following Jira has been created to track this work at 
> https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-25587
>
> *Rationale: *The OSP portfolio tool plays an important role at a 
> number of institutions. However resources for developing, maintaining 
> and QA testing of the OSP tool set have become scarce as the community 
> starts to focus on other, more up-to-date open source options, 
> especially Project Karuta, an LTI-1 tool ( 
> https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/OSP/Portfolios+for+the+Future+of+Sakai). 
> Therefore, we probably do not want institutions new to Sakai adopting 
> OSP, when the support for this tool is not strong. It is likely that 
> OSP will not be a part of Sakai 11 and for this reason, should not be 
> promoted as a preferred tool in Sakai 10.  It should stay fully in 
> Sakai 10 core in order to provide time for institutions to plan their 
> next stage in managing their portfolio functionality.
>
> My position on this proposal is that given the lack of new development 
> and QA resources for OSP going forward. it seems inevitable that OSP 
> will not be a part of Sakai 11 and that hiding the radio button for 
> creating new portfolio sites in Sakai 10 is a reasonable step to 
> foreshadow the future. At the same time, keeping OSP as part of Sakai 
> 10  for the next several years will enable any institution currently 
> using OSP to plan for the future with ample time and due consideration 
> for all concerned stakeholders. I am therefore in favor of the proposal.
>
> In saying the above, I need to correct some of the information I 
> conveyed those attending the OSP Community meeting on Monday, February 
> 3, At the time, I did not understand that members of the PMC prefer to 
> hide the radio button for the creation of new portfolio sites in Sakai 
> 10 regardless of whether the current critical and blocker OSP issues 
> for Sakai 10 are resolved. However, if these several issues are not 
> resolved, the radio button for new sites would be hidden AND OSP 
> functionality in Sakai 10 would be rolled back to that of Sakai 2.9 
> (making the new Indiana University enhancements to OSP unavailable in 
> Sakai 10). The good news is that we are well on our way (but could 
> still use more help) to resolving the current critical and blocker 
> issues for OSP in Sakai 10 and if no additional issues are found (that 
> cannot be resolved in time), OSP will continue to be a core tool set 
> for all current users in Sakai 10.
>
> If you have questions or concerns or would like to discuss this issue, 
> please post to the Sakai portfolio list at 
> portfolio at collab.sakaiproject.org or, if you wish, contact me directly 
> for more information.
