Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: KMS Breakout Session at Heidelberg .LRN Meeting: Ideas/ Priorities

Just a quick note that AIESEC International will be looking in depth at ideas 4 and 5 within its EU-funded ECOLEAD project. AIESEC will start developing specifications in October 2004 - January 2005 with code development in 2005. If someone is interested to join efforts or already working on social networking/rating/friends circles functionalities, please get in touch at mailto:volodja@ai.aiesec.org - would be great to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
I have written a general ratings package and will probably do member value as well but am probably not going to do explicit social networking things (at least not in this round of the community of practice work I am doing). The code is in cvs in contrib as cop-base and cop-ui.

One word of warning, it is likely that I will refactor the ratings, visits, related items, and clipboarding functionality of cop-base into seperate packages so if you want to use it be aware that the namespaces may change drastically (although I don't think the datamodel or code itself should change much).
