The version number may be the answer in itself, but is this being developed directly against Sakai 2.5 or is it also planned to work on 2.4?
The functionality is something we've been eagerly anticipating, but we may not be able to justify a wholesale switch to Sakai 2.5 during the academic year. Having the ability to plug this in to 2.4 would be fantastic.

Rutgers has integration with a home-grown SIS grade-submission piece which I'd love to mesh into whatever general support gets baked into Sakai proper. Still coming up to speed after my switch from the myRutgers team, so I'm not able to provide more details or an offer of work other than that – but I'm definitely interested in tracking this discussion.
