I have been snooping around dotLRN a bit. Very impressive.
1. Would it make sense to allow information structures (faqs, forums,
folders, calendars, whatever) to associate with more than one
organizational structure (department, class, club, etc) ? This might
make the system feel more user-centered as opposed to organization-
centered.
2. Would it make sense for the UI to behave like hotmail or ms
outlook, thus avoiding the need for users to learn a new UI? I guess
I'm referring to the metaphors of folders, calendars, and personal
vs. shared information spaces.
