[sakai2-tcc] DISCUSS: Tool Promotions & Deprecations for 2.9: News Feeds

[May, Megan Marie]

So where does that put us?    It seems like the proposal as is has a number of concerns.  Is there an alternative path?

I have been using News Feeds for quite a while now. In my experience, the thing just runs and is a major improvement over the current tool.

Maintaining the beta wicketstuff-dojo artifact locally has been a pet peeve of mine for a while (can't we get this in a repo
somewhere?) but that really goes straight to the heart of the NFS-61.
