[Building Sakai] one question about Sakai development and management

[Hugo Jacobs]

Hi Longfei,

If you make a slow start/pilot the risk's are a bit easier to manage.

Here at LOI (Netherlands) we started with three people, an analist, a developer and a programmer  to have a portfolio. The main work for us was to ty in with the back-end administrative systems and LDAP user-provider. But these could be considered nice-to-haves if you don't expect to scale up in a short time.

Looking back on the last three years with Sakai, we are very happy with the slow start. It offered our organization time to get familiar with the system and build confidence to make the decision for a large scale rollout in our higher-Ed programmes

Good luck with your plans,

Cheers Hugo

Hey, all,

I am wondering how many people (programmers or administrators) are needed to use Sakai in a big institution (like 30,000 students)? I mean since Sakai is not a commercial products, and needs a lot of computer programming skills to make it run smoothly, so I want to know how many people (programmers or administrators, etc.) are required and what are their roles in your institution.

We are using Bb8 now, and maybe thinking about to switch to Sakai (possibly) in the near future, but have no idea how many people are needed for this open source project.

Thanks.

Longfei
