Initial Assignment (for accepted students during socialization period, plus anyone who can't wait to get started)
If you have questions or want to discuss your ideas, try #sakai on freenode.net first, then the Google group, then the project mentor directly (unless you don't have one yet), then the sakai-dev list. We will always try our best to respond and give advice, but please be patient as sometimes we have a lot of questions to answer.
