[Building Sakai] [Management] Sakai 2.7 Projects

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Michael,

I'd like to see TinyUrlService in 2.7: http://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/contrib/tinyurl

It's a very simple API that provides methods to shorten a URL, then  
when followed gets redirected to the original, just like the other URL  
shorteners around. I've heard from several institutions using it in  
Sakai already.


cheers,
Steve
