[Building Sakai] Entity Provider for Tests and Quizzes

[George Pipkin]

Thanks Lydia -  I spent most of the last week curled up with Gradebook 
and I'm starting to understand its internals.  I was
wondering if anybody you know is also working on expanding entity 
provider support inside this tool ?  I'd like
to collaborate and see if we could establish a feature set that would be 
more widely useful.
