Ok, Lorna, you asked for it. My comments? The project looks to be the dog's bollox, sort of OER aggregation with big knobs on, building in social networking and curriculum mapping (another very hot topic the now). It's interesting how the project description has used a new vocabulary with a "bookmarking" paradigm, which I hope would appeal to today's web users (though does risk becoming a bit 'old' in a few years time with changing fashions), and does avoid dry tech terms like "aggregator". I'll be very, very interested to see the source code when released. The Dynamic Learning Maps site (which I'd not seen previously, to my shame) has a Codeigniter feel - was that used as the development framework?
Obtaining metadata and paradata will be technically challenging, to say the least. It'll be interesting to see how the Newcastle folk go about it.
