[Building Sakai] Gradebook export customization fields

[Paul Lukasewych]

At Western, a "student number" field is the big item that is missing for us in 
the gradebook. Our userEid is a username but the Registrar only recognizes 
their unique student number as an identifier. I imagine there are many other 
schools with the same need.

To meet this need we are running a local modification that allows selected user 
properties (we use jldap-beans to map a student number ldap field as a user 
property) to display and export from the gradebook.

I am working on SAK-22204, where the idea is that, institutions want different 
format of gradebook export file, which they can use to import into the 
registrar in their respective universities. 
This would be achieved by configuring the following sakai properties:

gradebook.institutional.export.enabled={true|false} 
gradebook.institutional.export.headers={true|false} 
gradebook.institutional.export.fields={CSV list of columns like userid, 
userEid, courseGrades}

The fields will be defined in the language bundles, where one can customize the 
header Title of each fields.
Some of the possible fields as listed in the jira are:
userId, userEid, userEmail, userName, siteId, siteTitle, courseGrade, 
item{grade item name} ,sortName (lastname, firstname),

So, the question is
- what are the possible fields that your institutions are interested in? Is 
there any fields that are not covered in the list above?
- what should be the defaults list of fields, I am guessing, it can be want we 
currently have in gradebook export- userEid, sortName (lastname, firstname), 
courseGrade

Thanks.
