I have to agree with the comments Luke made here. I see point one (the bulk import of content packages) to be hugely important. We here at the NLN have produced 1600 packages, and it is hugely frustrating for our users to have to import (and then classify and assign) the packages one by one. I believe that with a more general/standardised adoption of metadata, even at quite a low level, the materials could be imported as a batch process. Surely one of the reasons why a XML manifest based content production method is used by a lot of people in the first place is the power and flexibility of automatic process?

Commercial VLE providers will have to revisit their systems. Three things that would add significant value to the offering would be: 1. Bulk import of IMS Content Packages 2. Out the box integration with Windows Active Directory 3. Search functionality based on IMS metadata Does anybody in the community know if any of the above are in the making? Since a Colossus is in the making why not make the order taller?
