[Building Sakai] Assignment API

[Eby John]

Thank you everyone for your replies.

@Zhen, We do not have access to the DB so directly accessing it is not
going to work and screen scraping is the last resort.

@Jim, Mathwew
Version 2.9 seems be have exactly what I am looking for. /assignment/site
But registration on that site is not working I believe so I cannot try it
out. So for the current version on trysakai.longsight.com is there any
other way to get a list of assignments for a site? Or is this a
configuration detail that I need to talk to the admin about?
