Re: Repository integration with Sakai

Peter,

This is a fine vision - but there are a lot of dimensions to making  
sure this truly works well in all use cases.

Most current open-source repository systems cannot handle the on-line  
performance demands of a large-scale Sakai installation.

We will need to evolve a sophisticated set of plug-ins that allow  
great flexibility for different Sakai installations.  As an example,  
a Sakai installation supporting 500 users could easily store all of  
its resources in a separate repository.  But a system supporting  
100,000 users may not be able to "outsource" all of its storage.

We will have to evolve our approach and add new features carefully  
over time.
