[sakai-pmc] [Building Sakai] RSS portlet now part of Sakai trunk

Not true.  I cleaned up projects associated with the experimental build a couple of weeks ago and included three github-based contrib projects in the checkout: clog, clogdashboardintegration and yaft. [1]   Between 11-17 February the experimental build checked out and built all three contrib projects originating from github without incident (see the logs). [2]   However, since 18 February the experimental build has for unknown reasons reverted a non-experimental profile.  I'll check with Greg Thomas of IU as to the reasons for this misbehavior.

That said, the purpose of the experimental branch is rather different than trunk.  It's a convenience branch serving a nightly instance that provides a sampling of non-core Sakai capabilities for review purposes.  It's not a development branch.  It's nightly eye candy.

I concur with the view that SVN remains the authoritative source repo and that the rss code destined to trunk needs to live in the SVN core repo until we make the switch to Github.  

Cheers,

Anth
