[Building Sakai] Sakai BigBlueButton Update

[Jesus Federico]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post to the list even though I have been following
your emails since almost 4 months now. That was when, with the
guidance of Adrian Fish and Bryan Holladay, I started making changes
to the Sakai BigBlueButton tool AKA bbb-tool.

As Adrian says the new version 1.0.7 that is now placed at the Github
repository https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/bigbluebutton-sakai
includes the new features to support playback recordings on
BigBlueButton 0.8 and some extra improvements to the client.

In this one you will find:
- List for all Recordings related to the Site (besides the
pre-existent Meeting list)
- When creating a meeting there is an option to record the meeting and
a new field to set the meeting duration
- The status of the meeting will refresh automatically based on
parameters set in the sakai.properties
- When a meeting is In Progress Administrators and Teachers can
forcibly End the meeting
- Meetings can be deleted without affecting the recordings stored in
the BBB server
- If there are recordings corresponding to a meeting, in the detail
will be displayed the quantity of recordings and a link to a filtered
list

This version is still in beta, but we are looking forward to receiving
your feedback after trying it. We'll keep you posted through this and
the other official medias.

Regards,
