Hi Paul, In responding to Ludovic I may have covered some of the questions you had. The only object s for far that would be accessible to XWiki scripts are Sakai resources (e.g. documents, links).
I do agree the granularity of fine grained permissions in XWiki is very flexible. We just had to manage the mapping of Sakai user/group roles, that are specific to Sakai (course) sites, and expose the granular permissions of XWiki. In your comment there was one thing I wasn't clear on about providing queries/reports on Sakai LMS data. Are there specific ways in which XWiki can help with that process? Within Sakai there are some reporting tools, but there is still desire to improve on the data collected and provide better tracking tools. - Adam Adam Hocek Information Technology Marist College tel: 845-575-3948 From: Paul Libbrecht <[email protected]> To: XWiki Developers <[email protected]> Date: 06/29/2011 04:51 PM Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] a successful integration of XWiki with Sakai Sent by: [email protected] Adam, are Sakai objects going to be accessible to the XWiki scripts? This could have a great impact I believe. (e.g. to provide specific views on the LMS data; e.g. "the sessions of learners that have been taking this kind of learning activity and had issues"?) The development model of Sakai is close to that of Moodle, if I do not mistake: plugins. The one of XWiki is considerably more flexible I believe, deployment can be fully web-based and authorizations are fine grained. So you can give admin rights to a space to "the current TA helping my course" so that "he gets you running with some development that is local to your space".
