[Building Sakai] Removing OSP tools from list of default tools available in course sites and project sites

[Noah Botimer]

I, personally, do not object. I think the list is so long as to be quite daunting. If portfolio sites are available by default, discoverability of the tools is preserved.

Thanks,

I agree that most of these *tools* like Styles, Wizards and other tools are completely useless for the average user without training and documentation (For a few of them the only option is to add a css to xslt file) and are typically removed anyway.

I would argue that the availability of tools like "Portfolio Templates", "Styles", and "Forms" are confusing for new users of Sakai.  I think they should only be available by default when creating a new portfolio site.  For institutions that *do* want these tools available to their instructors in course/project sites, they will need to edit the tool registration XML file.  Any objections?
