Description
The Global Alerts Messaging contrib project provides a way for admins to post messages to sakai users on a single server or on all servers in a cluster. Messages are posted by creating a text document in the resources tool of the special "Global Alerts Messaging" site. The messages show up within a minute or so in the portal for users in course and project sites. Global Alerts have been used since November 2011 at the University of Michigan to alert users in advance when a production problem required restart of one or more servers. They could also be used to alert users to campus security incidents.
