[Building Sakai] grade book / grade book 2 compatibility

[Bryan Holladay]

I haven't tested lately, but for the most part the two tools don't
work well together (i.e. if you put both GB1 and GB2 in the same
site).  They use the same edu-services layer, however, there are
discrepancies on which data columns they use (some overlap),
calcuation methods, etc that cause them not to sync well (especially
for more complex GB settings).  It would be nice to see those resolved
(and theoretically it should be possible), but it may be a huge task
given the complexity of the calculations and data structures.

GB 2 has a couple of additional features, but they are being moved to GB, partly in 2.9 and partly in 2.10. Are the two systems compatible as long as only features that are available in both are being used?
