These are great ideas. I particularly like the notion of pushing
notifications out; it fits very well with how people seem to be using
Facebook. Ultimately, you want to think about ways to provide a window
from Sakai into the Facebook school network.

Another great idea. WebSphere supports Google Gadgets now, as does JBoss
Portal. There appears to be critical mass building.
