[Using Sakai] [gradebook2-dev] Gradebook use cases

[Jon Gorrono]

Mariano,

The ability to have more than one gradebook in a site has been a
standing request ... see https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/GRBK-36
.. plz add comments and vote.

We appreciate the merit in the feature, but have not been able to
justify the resources to work on it in light of the lack interest in
the feature by those who influence the allocation of resources locally
:)

I wonder if you have tried hierachical sites? I ask because it is more
likely that this would be closer to actually working now than with a
single site.
