There was a time when I was moving in both the worlds of the Sakai Collaborative Learning Environment and the Fedora Commons digital content repository. It seemed like a good idea to bring these two worlds together -- Fedora as a content repository for Sakai learning objects. Back in 2006, I logged a ticket in Sakai's tracker to see if anyone was interested. This morning I got notification that they are thinking of closing the ticket.

I've since moved away from both communities into other areas of interest, but felt one final duty of stewardship over this idea before it drifts out to sea. Perhaps integration between Sakai and Fedora Commons is already happening and this ticket is anachronistic. Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea to begin with and it should die on the vine. Perhaps someone else will think this is a good idea and become the champion for it. At this point, though, my professional interests are elsewhere and I can't carry this one forward.
