Updated November 8: The code is now in pretty good shape and ready for testing
Thanks to Anthony and Chris we have the latest Sakai Basic LTI up and running on nightly2 for testing. This allows Sakai tools to be dropped into other LMS systems that support the Basic LTI Consumer.
This should end up in Sakai 2.7 as part of that release and can be back-ported to earlier versions of Sakai if needed.

You can put any Sakai tool registration ID on the end of the URL replacing “sakai.rwiki” – I also need to run through tests of lots of tools to make sure they all work – rwki does work.
If you want to check out the producer code yourself, it is here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/ims/basiclti/trunk/
Drop it into a 2.6 or trunk of Sakai and add the following to your sakai.properties:
imsblti.producer.enabled=true
imsblti.producer.allowedtools=sakai.announcements:sakai.singleuser:sakai.assignment.grades:blogger:sakai.dropbox:sakai.mailbox:sakai.forums:sakai.gradebook.tool:sakai.podcasts:sakai.poll:sakai.resources:sakai.schedule:sakai.samigo:sakai.rwiki
imsblti.producer.lmsng.school.edu.secret=secret
webservices.allow=.+
Please send me any bugs you find including log messages. You can see the nightly Sakai logs at this URL:

You need to refresh and scroll to the bottom to see new entries – yes – it is not a tail – but it is simple and works.
Here is the documentation for the producer: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/ims/basiclti/trunk/basiclti-docs/sakai_basiclti_producer.doc
Here is a simple test plan using my PHP fake LMS:
