[Building Sakai] Auto-joinable site

[Earle Nietzel]

Hi Jez,

I would take a look at Sakai Web Services. You create a script to add users
to a site and run it on a regular basis.

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/WEBSVCS/How+to+use+the+Sakai+Web+Services

For example since you are using ldap you could create a search that pulls
people your interested in and then have Sakai Web Services add them to the
site. Then you could schedule this script to run every night via cron (or
something similar).
