[Building Sakai] [DG: User Experience] Profile2 v1.1 released

[Stephen Swinsburg]

Hi Clay,

Thanks a lot!

Yes, EntityBroker support is on the list to be implemented very soon,  
and Yaft (Yet Another Forum Tool) will be the first of our tools here  
at Lancaster University to integrate Profile2 support via EB, so you  
can see the profile of the forum message poster, etc. I'll also be  
tightening up the integration between the other tools that use the  
current Profile information, like Roster, so they will get Profile2  
functionality for free.

I haven't yet thought about OpenSocial in Sakai2 yet though. perhaps  
we could get this discussion going though :)

cheers,
Steve
