[Building Sakai] Assignments 2: 1.0 RC 1

[Beth Kirschner]

Hi Steve,

   I haven't had the time to run a close comparison, but I'm wondering if anyone has done a functional comparison between Assignments 1 and 2? I'm wondering how big the functionality gap is and when that gap is expected to be closed?

Thanks!
- Beth
