When we started the Sakai project in late 2003, our goals were primarily economic. Along with our colleagues at Indiana, Michigan and MIT, we at Stanford wanted to collectively create a single course and collaboration software that we could all deploy on our campuses. We were quickly joined by other schools, most notably UC Berkeley, as active development partners. The first couple of years were hard work, more than any of us had anticipated, and it was through sheer perseverance that we were each able to do our local deployments.

Community-based 3

Submitted by Clay Fenlason on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 10:16am

My focus is shifting ever more toward community-based activities that inform and shape Sakai 3. Again, I think Sakai 3 represents for us not just a new codebase and user experience, but also new ways in which the community comes together to produce the product.

 

Sakai 3 Incubating

Submitted by Clay Fenlason on Sun, 02/07/2010 - 5:16pm

This has been some time in coming, but Sakai 3 as a whole is now in incubation. It wasn't too long ago that "Sakai 3" stood as a category within which other projects were being incubated (e.g. K2, Groups), but we've come to the realization that although this compartmentalization may have made it easier to think about the issues piecemeal, it wouldn't be helpful for producing the earliest iterations of a product that needs to hang together.
