space named "Programmer's Cafe," where many tutorials and tips have
been collected by community developers.

COMMUNITY

Most Sakai collaboration happens in one (or both) of two arenas: the
collab server, and the Confluence wiki already linked to here a
number of times (bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence).

The collab server is a fully functional Sakai deployment, with sites

set up for community sub-groups, but in day-to-day activity it is
used most often as a kind of listserv. You're encouraged to set up an
account on the collab server and join any groups you like at:

http://collab.sakaiproject.org

The most active site there is the "DG: Development" site, otherwise known as
"sakai-dev".
