[Building Sakai] Any SAKAI09 interest in Google Apps / LMS integration issues?

[Victor Maijer]

I know that Googlers and people from the Sakai community have been in
contact with each other. I assume that this hasn't led to any (coding)
activities. Maybe I wrong.

I'm under the impression (from the Googlers) that Google wants to help
Sakai to establish some kind of integration like they did with Moodle
(they like Open Source).  All they need is some guidance from the
Sakai Community.
