Even though the role of this site - http://eduforge.org/ - is to host
educational projects, the platform looks very similar to how I imagine
the Blended Learning Resource project could be.
It has sections for resources and tools, organised in categories, as
well as sections on tutorials.
Most of it is in a database format I assume users can add to (both add
to existing projects and add new projects).
There is even a wiki section for more free-form collaboration.
Anyway - an interesting site in its own right.

yep, edu forge is a pretty good resource allright. I'm currently
looking at the NZ project eXe which I sent you guys a couple of days
ago. Its on the eduforge site. eXe is pretty slick you know, I think
you should look at it. NZ seems to have a big pressence on
eduforge and OSS hey.
But I think eduforge is for experienced users of the Internet. Perhaps it would be a good development base for us, but the end product would have to be much much simpler... something like no more than 3 menu options per screen, navigation no deeper than 2 or 3 levels, media rich content before text based content, etc.
How are we going to progress this project? Michael is working on the How to Blog in Drupal... I'm continuing with screencasts, Sean is searching, researching, etc.
As a suggestion, perhaps we could all start documenting our actions and findings with audio, screencasts, a forum, skype recordings.... I am still waiting on a new computer, but soon as it arrives the first thing I'm going to do is record Skype interviews with you guys and your contacts. I think that a list of MP3Casts of these interviews would help us to think about focus areas more, and serve as a good introduction for our audience. I would perhaps ask these questions:
1. Who are you what do you do?
2. What tools do you use for blended teaching and learning?
3. What areas interest you at the moment, what direction are you heading?
4. What advice would you give to a newby?
But where are we heading? in who's car? Who sits where?

Sure - I was just looking at the platform.

We seem to be getting an idea of what this thing will look like, but it
seems to me the two main priorities at the moment are settling on a
platform and finding somewhere we can put these resources we're
finding. (btw - I'm working on a similar project to this for TAFE and
will be finding a lot of stuff in my research).

Me also, I am working on similar things here at UWS.
So far, I have appreciated getting a look in on WIKI and see good potential for that in many areas of my work.
I agree that Delicious is not the perfect solution.
Perhaps a collabarative blog could be good, but that's only because I'm used to it.

This is my point - you are sending us links I already have!

That doesn't matter, you have sent me links I also have, but had
forgotten about. Its a bit like a rating system. You probably have this
one too? http://www.rss-specifications.com/displaying-rss-feeds.htm
