Welcome, Sandeep.

First, the developer list (sakai-dev) is public just as this one is,
and you can subscribe at:

http://collab.sakaiproject.org/mailman/listinfo/sakai-dev

Second, I'm a little out of my depth here, and will probably use the
wrong words, but I believe the sessionid refers to the web service
session (i.e. the session your app would open), and is not an
assumption that the user is logged in. If you're going to try to do
something, Sakai needs to know that you're allowed to, and webservices
aren't intended to allow you to run around that.

You can see more of the details in the jws files [1], which may answer
other questions or give you some ideas for writing your own
webservices.

For more (and better) suggestions on the details of your application
and its approach, I'll refer you to the good people on sakai-dev.
