Bringing this topic over from the School of Open Google group:
I started putting together my findings from trying to come up with ways for facilitators to aggregate blogs. Everyone should have access to comment so comment away!
@tim, thanks for creating that list. It seems that P2PU could support basic blogging functioality. E.g. P2PU could offer a basic content type called ‘Article’ with fields such as:
- ''contributor_id" -> reference account IDs of contributor(s)
- “title” -> Article title
- “body” -> Article body
- “published” -> date/time article was published
- “last_edit” -> date/time of latest revision
- “course_id” -> reference to the P2PU educational container
The “course_id” could be used to populate a list, page, or other view of articles related to the P2PU course entity.
The “contributor_id” could be used to populate dashboards or lists on user profiles, to show P2PU participation.
I am definatey interested in learning about free/open source real-time collaboration tools.
P2PU has an Etherpad instance, which enables people to collaborate on documents in real-time:

The Dojo Foundation has, among other excellent projects, a project called Open Cooperative Web Framework, which provides tools for real-time messaging, document collaboration, mapping, etc.
Hey Tim! This will make a great blog post. I added my comments at the doc. Looking forward to reading about Tumblr.
Here’s an example of a WordPress blog running FeedWordPress
Everything except the most recent ‘Hello Word’ post is by the two syndicated blogs:
http://ihopeyousteponalego.blogspot.com/ and http://cognitionengine.wordpress.com/
Also if you scroll to the bottom of http://ihopeyousteponalego.blogspot.com/ you can see the Google gadget in action. Which is actually reading from itself and http://cognitionengine.wordpress.com/.
Hi Tim! Good to finally “see” you! Thanks so much for all this. You have been so helpful with this issue! I added a comment to the doc in answer to one of Jane’s questions, and I think I’m right but not 100% sure.
