- Mooch - repository and searchable listing of open courses and open course content - for re-use - hubs need to be hosted and managed as a quality resource
- In November, Development process model changes from CVS -> Git to be more distributed - Martin's company currently does 60-70% of code development - they will become more like a checking/quality assurance gateway role
- Mobile Apps e.g., synch Moodle assignments to Moodle
