[Building Sakai] interested in feature comparison, NYU's syllabus vs standard Sakai

[Niebel, William D. (Bill) (wdn5e)]

The University of Virginia is in the process of upgrading Sakai from 2.9.1 to 10.2.  NYU's syllabus tool code looks interesting as an alternative to the standard 10.2 distribution for that tool.

The NYU source has branches and tags organized under 10.2, but reviewing the svn repo shows that these derive with apparently little change from its own 2.8.1-era code.  This in turn has substantial local changes from the distributed Sakai 2.8.1 syllabus.

Just wondering if anyone could provide a quick broad comparison of features and bug fixes, NYU 10.2 (more-or-less its 2.8.1) vs Sakai 10.x syllabus (10.2 especially).  This would help our choice and avoid a tedious revision comparison.  The svn log shows both NYU and Longsight contributions.  I'm asking here so others can share any answer.  Were there code merges either way?  Did NYU changes to 2.8.1 syllabus make their way back into Sakai 10.x?  Was it instead the other way around, with the NYU changes based on Sakai 2.x => 10 syllabus changes?

Thanks for any help on this.
