The Good

• Amazing product in a very short time• Many successful deployments• Great architecture• World class talent • Moving community source forward• Impressive membership • Incredible support for each other

13

The Bad

• Rough edges on the user experience

• Perceived as hard to run• Contributor Usability

14

The Ugly

• Release Practices• Inadequate

unit/performance testing

• What’s the roadmap• Confusing to outsiders

Have we improved?

• Yes (mostly)• Much stronger release practices• New process for roadmap development• Increased automated testing• Better website/wiki• Plus: Strength of Teaching & Learning!

• Not yet (Sakai 3)• Developer productivity• Better user experience

Summary

• Sakai is getting stronger.• New adoptions, new features, new faces

• Sakai is moving in the right direction.• The movement is slower than some want• But the trajectory is clear

• It is not because of the Sakai Foundation• It is because of the commitment of the

community.
