[Building Sakai] one question about Sakai development and management

[Longfei Yu]

Dear Sean,

Thank you so much for your information. The commercial supports looks
awesome and very professional, and is definitely a good option. However, if
we do choose to do it all in house with our own staff, probably, how many
people are required generally speaking, based on your experience?

Thanks.

Longfei

Longfei,

Even though the code isn't owned by a commercial entity, you can still
get commercial support.

You can find a list of companies that are very capable of helping you
deploy and support Sakai on your campus on the Sakai project website.

Alternatively, you can do it all in house with your own staff.

Sean
