Resource management is a problem. Files at a top level can be accessed all over from any course. RSS has different levels. I must check to see what level it is switched on in SCoPE. Good luck with the Moot. I will think about Moodle.org.

I'm using your final paragraph to help frame my presentation. Moodle does support online community in many ways (better than any "community" platforms, I think) but through our participation in SCoPE we continue to identify many ways to improve. Site-wide rss, shared calendar with rss, resource management, etc etc. The struggle is with transforming a course management system to a community environment, but it's also with dealing with emergent needs of the members and inventing new ways to work together. We're busy working on SCoPE funding and research proposals and all the rest of it, but hope to gather together a group for a "next steps" discussion about SCoPE design soon. And I'm looking foward to your PLE seminar in June! :-) Oh, and how about moodle.org as a good example of the use of Moodle for online community?
