Feedbooks

Hmmm. I've been mulling over and fiddling around with the concept of the feedbook (eg Dave Cormier) and come up with more questions than answers:

1) I want to come up with a model that will be fairly easy for other teachers to pick up and customise to their own areas of interest. Obviously they will need to know the location of 'good/relevant stuff' on the web as a starting point.
2) I want to be able to mix information that has been newly added to the web with articles or posts that have survived the test of time - so a mixture of static and fluid content to be accommodated.
3) I'd like to encourage teachers and students to participate in the life of the feedbook - this could be through tagging items using del.icio.us (or other social bookmarking tool), writing in their blogs and commenting on each other's blogs.
4) In a lot of ways, having the feedbook within a WebCT course as a standalone page would be good, but I think this will change as I experiment more. Also in the new version of WebCT(v6) there seems to be a greater use of popup windows, so using an external site (eg Suprglu) could do the trick without being obtrusive.
5) It would be nice to have the sources and the commentary from the participants about those sources on the same page.
6) I can see how I can use this with a LearnScope group for teacher professional development, however application to some VTE (we are no longer VET apparently) areas may not be really feasible.
Thoughts -
Suprglu is looking good as a means of gathering together del.icio.us and flickr feeds.
One issue with using Suprglu to combine many feeds from various authors is that within the feed that suprglu produces, the sources are not identified. They are on the actual Suprglu html pages, so maybe that is pointing me there.
Could Elgg do the trick? Another angle to explore.

Feedbook Use
I am thinking my application of the feedbook concept would be in the context of a cohort of students, in which there are some "set readings" that would form the basis of some activities. In addition the feeds from various blogs would introduce participants to the current (that day's) thoughts and permutations about the field of inquiry. Participants could use del.icio.us with an agreed tag to flag items of interest that they discover during the course. Participants would be encouraged to comment on items in the feeds populating the feedbook, and be able to add to the feedbook themselves through the tagging. Where appropriate, Flickr could be used as well with the same shared tag. As part of the feedbook, teacher's and students' blogs would also be fed in.

What I need to do next...
1) make a working feedbook using Suprglu and Feed2JS as a standalone webpage
2) look at using suprglu by itself
3) investigate Elgg (could be barking up the wrong tree totally, will let you know)
