[Building Sakai] CKEditor for Sakai 2.7.x?

[Kevin Chan]

Hi Noah,

To answer your questions:

1. We would be looking to swap in CKEditor for Sakai 2.7 during this 
summer in preparation for our Fall 2012 semester.
2. We have a significant hardware overhaul project for our CLE this 
summer, so we are not looking to upgrade to 2.8 or higher any time 
before Summer 2013.

The trick is that anybody who runs it would be picking up a branch of reference, portal, and some other pieces, and need to rebuild all tools. Again, not a big deal for experienced hands, but nontrivial, particularly if you modify any of those pieces.
