Thanks for pointing this out Dennis.

I just checked it out ... what I like about it is that the debates are
archived which reveals a lot about what the participants are thinking.  I
get the impression that this is ultimately going to be an effort to make
IMS/Ariadne/Scorm become an official IEEE standard.

EduML started life as a standards proposal in 1998 and as such is 
currently waiting for final drafts of this IMS/Ariadne/Scorm standard
to decide how best to adapt these standards to the open source lifestyle.
