[Building Sakai] [Management] Working toward a Message and Forums Release

[May, Megan Marie]

Hello again,
    Quick reminder that we're still seeking community feedback.  So far we've received no negative feedback.  In fact, a patch has even been provided.

There have been some additions to this list

*         Allow an individual forum message to be linked to directly and puts a "permalink" in the individual message view (SAK-15592)

*         Add text-length validation in titles and textareas (SAK-10503)

o   Many thanks to Sam Ottenhoff for providing the patch

Thanks,
Megan

Good afternoon,
        There is a multi-institutional team working on a message center release (ie Messages and Forums) with a goal of releasing by mid-December.   The intent is that this release will then be included in Sakai's 2.7.0 release.

There are a number of functionality changes planned for inclusion.  Many of you have already seen this list but we wanted to circulate the list of proposed changes one  last time for questions, comments or concerns.  The list with JIRA #'s and supporting documentation is below.
