This document discusses plans for the next generation of the Sakai learning management system called Sakai 3. It outlines goals of making Sakai more user-friendly in line with modern web standards, improving the development process, and separating the front-end and back-end for a more balanced team. Wireframes and visual designs were created by a consultant to improve the user experience. Development is ongoing on a new back-end called K2 with the goals of a cleaner interface, standards compliance, and improved scalability. A hybrid production version is planned for late 2009 with a full standalone version in mid-2010.
