[Using Sakai] Using Sakai List - Are there faculty-friendly descriptions of changes for Sakai 2.7/2.8 available?

[Regan, Alan]

Dear Using Sakai List,

Does anyone have a faculty-friendly list of enhancements and new features for both Sakai 2.7 and Sakai 2.8?  I want to post an announcement about improvements on the horizon.  Our community is currently using Sakai 2.6 (but we have installed Profile2 and Messages & Forums 2.7 on our instance).  Later this summer we'll need to decide whether to go to 2.7 or leapfrog to 2.8.

I did find a list of proposed changes to 2.7 and 2.8, but the lists were a little unclear to me and too technical/confusing for most faculty, IMO.

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/2.8.0+Changes

If anyone has something you'd be willing to share or a page I am missing on either the Foundation site or Confluence, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for your time, all.

Sincerely,
