[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] non-visible folders

[Steve Swinsburg]

Nice functionality! 

But note Stephen Marquard's comment from 4/4/2007 about the terms used: 'hidden' already implies no one can access anything inside the folder. So this is more like 'secret' - i.e. you can see it, but only if you know how to get to it.

cheers,
Steve
