[Deploying Sakai] [WG: Sakai QA] Available site types in 2.8 (or later, maybe earlier too)

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi J-F,

If you just want to turn off the site types that Worksite Setup shows, you can put this in sakai.properties:

# what site types can be created
site.types=project
will only allow project sites. Comma separated list for other types.

cheers,
Steve
