[Building Sakai] [gradebook2-dev] Grading: Assignment&Gradebook2

[Jon Gorrono]

Hi, Raul.

Historic reasoning has been roughly that grades are not stored in GB2,
they are stored in edu-services. And AFAIK replacing null valued
(ungraded) scores with zeroes in a reversible way is not something
that the edu-services code can 'do': there would have to be
modifications in that code in order to record the setting and a per
item marker.

I've talked to a number of people who also think that this should be
done, so we should have a ticket for it and try to schedule the work
and discussion with the edu-service maintainers.
