[Building Sakai] Rwiki

[Michael Korcuska]

I am *very* eager to see this available in 2.x, even as contrib. Lots  
of people agree that this will smooth the path from 2 to 3 (not to  
mention being useful in 2 itself).  But nobody has raised their hand  
to take the prototype work Nico did last year and make it "real".

The Sakai Foundation might be able to apply some resource against this  
if there were a community leader.
