[Building Sakai] Signup tool new 2013 release

[Liu, Peter]

Hi All,

We are pleased to announce a new annual 2013 release of the Sign-up tool (version: Sign-up 1.0.0). We, at Yale, have just deployed this new version into production after our successful QA. We greatly appreciate Oxford University and Steve Swinsburg for their major contributions to this release.  This release has many rich new features, bug fixes and resolved up to 53 JIRA issues.
It is now available for sakai-2-8-x and sakai-2-9-x version. For any other Sakai versions, you need to modify the pom.xml files in the sign-up tool accordingly to your selected Sakai version.

The major new features from this release are as follows

  *   Provide the ability to auto-generate site-groups according to the timeslot in the event
  *   Provide the iCal attachment for external Apps such as MS Outlook and Google Calendar
  *   Allow Event organizer to select multiple co-organizers (or coordinators) for managing the event
  *   Allow Organizer to define a category metadata
  *   Numerous bugs haven been fixed.
