This is an open forum to discuss the implications of a move from Gradebook2 to GradebookNG (result of the Gradebook Enhacements Project). If your institution is currently using Gradebook2, we encourage you to join the discussion and share your thoughts and concerns about the risks/advantages of switching to the new redesigned Gradebook.
Folks from Universidad de Murcia (Spain) and Texas State University (USA) organized an online BoF to start the discussion. If you could not attend, don't worry, it was recorded (available soon) and there is plenty of information for you to check afterwards.

Making GradeBook2 functional in Sakai 11 (getting it working with Morpheus...)
Portal handlers are not processing GB2 content properly, maybe it could be fixed but I don’t know how, so far. After achieving GB2 iframeless ready, other problems will come out, mixing GWT javascript with common portal javascript could cause problems, nothing tested, so far.
Quick Fix (by Former user (Deleted)): Still using iframes with GB2 adding this property to sakai.properties.
# Still IFRAMES with GB2
portal.iframesuppress=:all:sakai.rsf.evaluation:sakai.gradebook.gwt.rpc
version Gradebook2 1.8.1 working in the latest version of Sakai Trunk.
IMPORTANT: This fix is not going to work anymore, Sakai 11 is upgraded to Spring 4 and GB2 is not compatible, it has to be fixed in order to run in Sakai 11.
UPDATE: A new patch to fix GB2 problems was added in
