[Building Sakai] Wimba integration on 2.6

[Max Whitney]

Nate recalls correctly our intentions at NYU. In 2007-2008 we were  
looking closely at Wimba-Sakai integration. Nicola, who is now at  
Longsight Consulting but was with NYU at the time, will probably have  
the best recollection of the details. She noted earlier today that  
there might have been some closely held jars involved.

We did not in the end deploy Wimba with Sakai, and ended up dialing  
our Wimba commitment down. The tool was terrific, but the use case was  
not at the time sufficiently compelling to a university-wide audience.  
The McGhee online learning program at our School of Continuing and  
Professional Studies has continued to use Wimba with success inside  
the Epsilen environment.
