[Building Sakai] 2.7 Release Discussion - Basic LTI Portlet

[Stephen Marquard]

Hi Chuck,

Is there a recommended stable branch for running in production with 2-6-x? We currently have

 https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/sakai-portlets/trunk/

in our externals - is that the latest & greatest BasicLTI code?

Secondly where would new adopters start with code examples of various BasicLTI clients (e.g. php, perl, etc.)?

It seems to me we'd be targetting two purposes for this, (a) use this tool to bring in someone else's external tools (on App Engine, etc.), or (b) use this tool to write your own integrations (like LinkTool).

In both cases really good, simple documentation seems important.

Cheers
Stephen

Clay,

I have some functionality I would like to add to 2.7 and am happy to  
be a guinea-pig for the new process for new functionality.

I would like to add a BasicLTI Portlet to 2.7 - This is an evolution  
of the SimpleLTI portlet which has been in production at UM for a  
year.  BasicLTI is going to be an approved IMS spec so I figure it  
makes sense to update the portlet and then get it into Trunk and in  
the release.

...

Where do I start?
