Thanks for the added perspective, Jeff and Glenn.  Our desire is to
really get at the heart of the matter by meeting Sakai (and other tools
such as OJS/DpubS for electronic journals, etc.) right where they store
the data.  In doing so, it is our expectation that allowing data to flow
across applications will be much easier because there is one underlying
repository.


That's the vision, in any case.  Best,

Peter
