[Building Sakai] Auto-joinable site

[Jez Cope]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone - some good options there. I'll 
investigate further and try to come up with a solution.

Steve: will that module work on 2.7.x? I've tried getting it going on my 
test server, and had to change "2.6-SNAPSHOT" to "2.7-SNAPSHOT" to get 
it to compile. Sakai then started up ok, but trying to form an autoreg 
url doesn't seem to work. The correct error messages are shown if I go 
to http://sakai/autoreg/something-malformed, but if I use an actual site 
ID there, the browser claims it cannot connect to the server. Any 
suggestions?

Thanks,
Jez
