[Building Sakai] adding 100s of guest accounts as non-participants

[John Leasia]

I have done hundreds - I'd suggest doing them in batches of a couple 
hundred. I don't know of a limit - but suggest < 1000 at least (not sure 
how they are added but there might be a problem with Oracle and > 1000 
arguments).  There is an option to send passwords to users added that 
way in an email - notifyNewUserEmail=true  in sakai.properties to turn 
on that feature. We don't use that here so I foget exactly how it works 
- the pwd is included in the email notifying them they've been added to 
a site, or maybe it's a separate email, I forget.
