Description

The new dashboard tool for Sakai-2 attempts to show users the most immediate and significant items from throughout their active sites in Sakai. The first version of the dashboard is a contrib tool that displays links to the most recent activity in Sakai's resources, assignments and announcements tools, as well as upcoming deadlines and events from the calendar and assignments tools. Similar notifications from other tools (core or contrib) can be included with a modest amount of effort. 

This panel discusses the technical challenges to presenting this sort of view to users and our approach to solving those problems. We will report results of performance tests. We will give a brief step-by-step description of the effort needed to show entities in the dashboard. And we will hear a first-hand account of adding items to the dashboard from a contrib tool.
