Sakai is a Frankensteinian creation, stitched together from the computer code of existing course-management software developed at the four lead universities, as well as from uPortal software, a Web-based application made up of open-source-software parts created by several hundred universities.

Sakai's leaders say they are still deciding whether they will form such partnerships, and are asking for proposals from any company that wants to join the project.
