[samigo-team] future of the samigo working group--do we need separate meetings?

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Keli,

My sense is that there would be interest in looking at proposed new 
features for Samigo, but I think there would be even more interest in 
having the discussion about the future of the Samigo Working Group. 
Could we use the first Tuesday of July to discuss primarily this topic?

I think your questions are fair. How about I get feedback from the 
Teaching and Learning group and the Sakai Core team and bring their 
feedback as input to the July meeting?

How does that sound?

Thanks,
Neal
