Building Sakai (a.k.a. sakai-dev)

The Building Sakai area is oriented towards the needs of designers, programmers, developers, and quality assurance members of the Sakai community. It encompasses a broad range of topics, including documenting, designing, developing, testing, and releasing Sakai.

In addition to this area in Confluence, there is also an email list for discussing topics and asking questions related to building Sakai: sakai-dev@collab.sakaiproject.org (join sakai-dev list.) This is a very active list, with several or more messages a day (sakai-dev list archive).

Development Infrastructure (and )
- Sakai Source Code Repository (Subversion)
- mSub - Deployment Source Code Repository
- Issue and bug tracking (Jira)
- Sakai wiki. You've already found it.
