[Building Sakai] Proposed changes to Sitebrowser results page

[Steve Swinsburg]

Would it be worthwhile building in some logic around the link? Presenting a
link and then giving them an unavailable message could be avoided by
testing if the given user has access to the given site first. I think that
would be a good improvement.

cheers,
Steve
