[Deploying Sakai] customising OAE UI for an institution

[Steve Swinsburg]

I think you'd want to have this completely configurable. Our branding guide has specific elements that must appear in the headers and footers, so changing just the label of a string of text would be insufficient. Something like a global header/footer taht is adjusted once. 

Cheers
Steve
