[Using Sakai] Configuring MOTD by role

[Sam Ottenhoff]

I recommend creating static HTML files for the multiple roles. Create
them in a public folder (Administration Workspace -> Resources -> public).

Then customize the My Workspace template for the multiple roles
(!user.template.student, !user.template.staff, !user.template.faculty).

If you want the tips on the home page of the My Workspace, edit the Home
Page (Administration Workspace -> Sites -> !user.template.student ->
Pages -> Home -> Tools) and add  a new Web Content tool to the Home page.

Note that existing My Workspaces need to be deleted before receiving the
new template.
