Had a request today for how to get permalinks in Sakai. Since most of the portal generated URLs (at least down to the tool level) are already permalinks, answering the request was easy — but I wonder if this indicates that we need a Google Maps style permalink icon in the UI somewhere. Something that says “get a link to me” and ideally even a tiny-url like service to make emails a little more word-wrap friendly.
Yes. This is an excellent idea and something Sakai should implement. Permalink icons and a Confluence-style Tiny Link facility would be excellent. Is there a Sakai project Jira issue representing these enhancements that I can pitch to Cooperative Support subscribers to try to get some development bandwidth on this?
