[Building Sakai] Installing Australe 2.7.0.x on Sakai 2.7.1

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

I have the same needs, and maybe more, regarding OpenSyllabus as I have 
with Melete.

I need a release ready for the next Sakai release without having to 
tweak Sakai.

If there's a release of OpenSyllabus next March compatible with Sakai 
2.8, UPMC will compare it with Melete and Lesson Builder.

As far as compatibility with the latest Sakai is concerned, Lesson 
Builder currently leads.

Melete has the advantage of already being in use at UPMC.

Open Syllabus looks promising but lack the advantages of the two others.

I hope I will be able to compare 2 or 3 solutions from both technical 
and use point of view next March when Sakai 2.8 is released.

Cheers,

J-F
