[Building Sakai] Sakai Development Process

[John Norman]

I noticed this when I looked at the new Jasig site last week. I agree  
and would go further. I see value in exploring whether we can create a  
shared process and support resources. The key challenge (which lies  
within both communities and is not a difference between Jasig and  
Sakai) is to handle multiple projects, each with different stake- 
holder groups.
