[Building Sakai] How do I setup my sakai instance with xsl-portal?

[branden at uwindsor.ca]

We've been using xsl-portal in production with 2.5.2. We chose to merge a 
couple small fixes from the Sakai JIRA based on a search of issues, but 
nothing too serious. We're very happy with it.

Thanks for posting this, I didn't know you could do that. I've been using 
the XML node dump on the server end in the logs to analyse what XML was 
being generated. This is very useful. Is there a Wiki somewhere that has 
more helpful tidbits for xsl-portal like this?

Thanks,
