    I'm changing the tool registration so that the tool name and description are not identical. This idea is to 1) make the tool name fit better in the navigation and 2) have the values map to the visual end-result in a more meaningful way.

    Issues encountered in getting Iteration 1 to work:

    • Couldn't get to code - bad wifi connection. Perhaps distribute or download ahead of time?
    • case-sensitivity of TasklistTool.java - mis-declared in web.xml servlet declaration
    • bad XML due to hand-typing - I didn't close <category> declarations in the tool file
    • Sakai plugin not installed - won't build
    • files in wrong location in path
