Not all core Sakai tools are part of every user's experience with Sakai. In addition to the common end user tools that are easily found in most Sakai sites, a number of administrative tools have reached core status. In addition, Sakai's ePortfolio system, the bundle of tools collectively known as OSP (for "open source portfolio"), is also part of the Bundle. Some organizations deploy Sakai without OSP tools and some organizations deploy OSP without using the other tools in Sakai. The table below lists the end user tools for Sakai 2.6.
