[Deploying Sakai] Proposal: Add Anonymous grading into Sakai 10.3

[Neal Caidin]

[sakai-dev, production, i18n, and sakai-pmc]

Proposal: Include the feature for anonymous grading in the assignment 
tool in the 10.3 release [1], off by default [2].  (Note: the feature 
has already been merged into 10.x, so we would have to revert changes to 
remove it.)

Rationale:
The feature been tested by Western University in production successfully 
since September 2014. University of Cape Town has also been running this 
on 10.x successfully. S2U (Spanish speaking users group) has tested it 
in 10.x . As was mentioned, the change is off by default in 10.x (10.3) 
. There are new strings introduced:
grading.anonymous=Anonymous grading
grading.anonymous.title=anonymous
submitted.date.redacted=(date withheld)

Being off by default means the change is non-disruptive to the user 
experience. We will not turn this on by default until 10.4 or later to 
allow time for string translations.


Time frame:

By lazy consensus everyone in the development community is encouraged to 
provide feedback and input, though the final decision rests with the 
PMC. If they do not hear any objections by Tuesday, December 2, 2014,  
then the proposal will be considered as passing.

For reference see the Maintenance Branch Merge Policy [3].
