Sakai Kernel

Prior to Sakai 2.6, the back-end or framework services were part of the overall Sakai package. Starting with Sakai 2.6, these services were pulled out into a separate Sakai Kernel package. Sakai 2.6, and the rest of the 2.x series, are based on version 1 of this Kernel (or K1). Sakai 3 is likely to be based on the next major release of the Kernel, version 2 or K2.

Kernel 1 (K1)

Kernel 1.0.0 was released in October 2008 for use by Sakai 2.6, which is anticipated to be released . Kernel 1.0.x maintenance releases are anticipated as bugs and performance issues are resolved, however, new features in the Kernel 1.x (K1) series will be reserved for Kernel 1.1; Sakai 2.7 was based on Kernel 1.1.

Nakamura aka Kernel 2 (K2)

Beginning in late 2008 Nakamura (or K2) began evolving rapidly as a possible kernel architecture on which to build Sakai OAE. Here are some important sources of information on Nakamura:
