Deploying Sakai
Welcome to Deploying Sakai!
The Deploying Sakai area is oriented towards the needs of system administrator, database administrator, and technical support members of the Sakai community. It encompasses a broad range of topics, including installing, implementing, configuring, and supporting Sakai. You will find information here on Sakai configuration tips, release documentation, best practices for deploying Sakai, performance tuning, recommended hardware and software configurations, etc.
In addition to this area in Confluence, there is also an email list for discussing topics and asking/answering questions related to deploying Sakai: production@collab.sakaiproject.org (join production list.) This is a low volume list, with only a couple messages a week or so (production list archive.)
