Hi Clay, Thanks for your reply. In my opinion, Assignment and Gradebook are two most important features for LMS. OAE's no native support for those two features in the near future sort of confuses me about the vision of this product. Will OAE eventually replace Sakai 2.x? Or OAE is designed for something else?
