You could also do this with any tool which is entity broker enabled
(enabling takes about 15 minutes if you are using RSF). The extra
nicety here is that the tool becomes a entity enabled in Sakai and you
get to address things in it with URLs like this:
http://localhost:8080/portal/entityprefix/entityid/More info on EB here:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/x/F7MI am not completely sure who put in the directtool stuff but I think
Ian Boston knows how it works. He is on holiday right now but you
might be able to reach him next week sometime. He is also responsible
for the Rwiki project these days so he could answer that part of your
question also.
