The idea that our work and our student's work and connections are locked into a licensed environment like webCT or a commercial marketing entity like Facebook doesn not sit well with me.

You'd better take a look at it. We are discussing on how to maintain the Eduspaces community in several ways.

We have been piloting Elgg at my insitution and in the process have tried to piggy-back and associate Elgg with a number of JISC project bids. These have all been unsuccessful or the bit that would have produced development money for Elgg was dropped. The hope had been to get some money for Ben and Dave, and latterly Curverider, to do some development work for us. There must be a better way of financing projects like Eduspace. Advertising didn't work. Perhaps we all need to look down the back of various sofas in our institutions. What would be ideal I guess is for some educational NGO to take it over. We spend millions on subscriptions to e-journals and VLE licenses. Why not modest contributions to a centrally provided community platform like Eduspaces? I couldn’t agree more.
