EduForge
EduForge.Org is an open access collaborative learning and exploratory environment designed for the sharing of ideas, research outcomes, open source educational software, and tools within a community of educators, researchers and developers.
I was particularly attracted to their Distributed Textual Discourse project designed to support the creation of hypertextual conversations right on a web page, and be used to enhance the collaborative features of existing tools such as blogs and wikis. DTD is a peer-to-peer online discourse management system, allowing participants to collaborate without the use of software running on centralized servers. It also features social filtering mechanisms, such as peer review and membership-based filtering.
The project is cordinated by Ulises Mejias, of eCornell. His Distributed Textual Discourse: A New Approach to Online Discourse provides a detailed presentation of his ideas about how such a system would function.
