Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant
Jim Groom has an excellent post about Sakai from the point of view of a savvy outsider.
It’s not exactly, um, positive, but I just have to post this because I think he hits the nail right on the head in terms of where we fall short.
More than anything else, however, I was extremely disappointed with the limited RSS capabilities. You would think that an open CMS would have the RSS flowing like wine, and folks could have the option to hook in to one another’s content making for a community of rich syndication much like the feed-based architecture that Jon Udell discussed recently here. However, nothing doing from what I have seen. The one RSS feed I was able to see was for the wiki, and it seemed to have problems distinguishing between particular project pages.
He also makes good points about the barriers to contributing. We need to solve these problems if Sakai is to fulfill its promise.
