[Building Sakai] IDE & Adding Custom Features in Sakai

[Beth Kirschner]

You might want to take a look at the 'Programmer's Cafe' wiki page (https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Programmer%27s+Cafe) - though coming to a conference for the bootcamp workshops is the best way to get started. Given your timeframe, this might not a reasonable option, so it might help to explain what custom feature you wanted to add?
