[Building Sakai] In a particular site how to restrict students from sending messages

Tue Dec 11 06:14:39 PST 2012

Hi David,
I've checked with Juan Arcadio and its possible but we don't know if 
there is any interest in the community on using the tool that way 
(webservices). The source code 
https://aulavirtual.um.es/access/content/user/juanarcadio%40um.es/umusync/www/installation.html 
was contributed and we are happy if anyone want to work with it. If 
there is interest on the community of using the functionality via 
webservices... then we can consider working on it.

Let us know if you need any help!
