[Building Sakai] Create new Plugin

[Aaron Zeckoski]

What do you mean by "integrates into the portal, maybe even the
Administration workspace?"
Is there an existing tool you want it to act like? In general, you can
place a tool anywhere in Sakai including the admin workspace (and
basically, everything in Sakai is in the portal).
