[WG: Sakai QA] [Building Sakai] HOW TO MODIFY "Letter Grades with +/-"in the Gradebook Tool

[Kurosch Petzold]

Hey, 
I am sorry to hijack this, but we at FUB use number grades (I.e. 1.0; 1.3; 1.7 ; 2.0; ... ;4.0; 5.0) can I use this solution to change the letters to numbers?

Best regards,
Kurosch
