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

[Matt Clare]

Hey Steve,

	You're welcome to anything from here - but it doesn't identify any changes:  https://kumu.brocku.ca/sakai/Profile

	Also mid-way down here is the message of the day that we used to promote the profile in November:  https://lms.brocku.ca/access/content/group/Isaak_News/public/motd/motds.html

	Both reflect the opt-in style configuration Brock University runs.  Hope that helps,

All the best.

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.
