Why now? Well for a few months my work has been in Limbo. Together with the old Reload team and CETIS I have been starting work on a JISC funded reference model for a Personal Learning Environment. The idea behind the reference model projects is that we define the scope, review the theory, come up with scenarios (use cases), look for and document patterns, and define some specifications. All the while, we (the programming part of the team, not me) build some prototype software to see if it all makes sense. Up until a few days ago, we were a bit anonymous - we didn't have a public web site and so no-one officially knew what we were doing. All that has changed now though.
