[Building Sakai] Sakai and BBB

[Adrian Fish]

That'll be it; we had to replace quite a lot of site ids with GUIDS. Try 
sticking hyphens instead of spaces in a db query and see it it starts to 
work. I suspect it will.

The GUIDs are automatically generated by the worksite setup code in 
Sakai. However, you can use the Sites tool and add whatever site id you 
like. I think ACA CHS 06 is perfectly ok as does a large percentage of 
the Sakai codebase, Entity Broker doesn't.

It's a bit of  bind as it forces you to use the Alias service for nice 
site URLS whereas you could use '/portal/site/ACA CHS 06' directly which 
would get URL escaped by the browser.

Cheers,
Adrian.
