Proposal: Promote Lancaster CLOG blogging tool to core for Sakai 12

Proposal

Promote CLOG from contrib to core for the Sakai 12 release

Rationale

Sakai doesn't currently offer a blogging tool in its core toolset. Blogging, whether in a Sakai site, or publicly, can form an important part of course design, so not having a blogging tool is an omission. CLOG has been successful as a contrib tool - it is in production at several sites across the globe and is thus a candidate for being the core blog tool offering. Making it a core tool can only serve to further improve the feature set and would be a positive step.
