Thanks for the link Clay.

Reading that description of SPA raised two questions for me, about the
relative priorities of a couple of issues that may arise out of a move to
SPA:

1) The back button: I'm assuming that our move to SPA is motivated by a
desire to deliver increased usability. Sakai CLE has long suffered from
inconsistent behavior with browser back buttons. While it would be
convenient to have Sakai itself handle all navigation, users are pretty
well trained to use back buttons to get to previous states. Are we thinking
to try to support back button navigation in SPA from the start?

2) Search-engine discovery of public content: I understand that we have a
goal to support search engine discovery, which makes sense in an
application designed to share content publicly, but still have some work to
do there. Are we thinking to build in better discovery in the move to SPA,
or would that be a later goal?
