Thanks for the round up – useful to see what’s bubbling up. Re the soft issues, I think these are increasingly important for take up and use and the all important move from innovation to tools being embedded in practice.

Lots of uni wide systems aren’t – they are specialized, have a steep learning curve etc. So I think anything that provides quick and easy ways for people to use wordpress and connect with other sites is heading in the right direction.
