[WG: Sakai QA] [Building Sakai] Sakai 2.8 Release Activity Schedule

[Speelmon, Lance Day]

Megan/TCC,

I have some Sakai 2/3 Hybrid changes I would like to land for Sakai 2.8:

1) login: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17223
2) providers: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17222

I would appreciate additional eyes before merging the code.  A patch is attached to each issue for easy review.

We might also consider having 2.8 bind to a released version of: http://github.com/sakaiproject/nakamura/tree/master/hybrid/

This module provides a couple of REST endpoints for the Sakai 3 portal (i.e. list of sites for current user, and list of tools for a given site). I will likely need to defer to the maven mavens on this issue.

So we should probably start a discussion of next steps for hybrid inclusion.  Thanks!  L
