Several thoughts here. You don't say so, but I hope we are talking about Moodle as an export option (alongside IMS Course Cartridge and Native). I would hate to think we would loose information transferring from one Sakai to another because we use an export format that does not contain all of our concepts. Then in contemplating secondary formats for interchange with other systems, we need to consider how stable/how fast they change and the maintenance burden.


We are more or less on the same page, but here is how I viewed the task at hand:  We need a first order export/import format for Sakai 3 (which will maintain full fidelity and content representations); is there an existing format that could suit this bill?  I don't *think* there is... but I would rather prove myself wrong than assume I am right.  :)

I suspect it would be a lot of work, but it would be great to have a comparison that compared Bb export formats with Moodle with CC. I wonder if the IMS folk have this..?

That is a good question - I am not aware of any work done in this regard, but maybe one of our IMS experts could confirm or deny.

I could use a second pair of eyes on the Moodle backup format.  I managed to get the latest build of Moodle up and running and then created a sample backup zip file.  We are trying to determine suitability of their format as an export/import format for Sakai 3.  Grab the sample below and provide any feedback you have on the wiki page.  Thanks, L

As we prepare to start working on a Sakai 2 -> Sakai 3 migration effort, I would like to help organize community contributions.  There are a number of roles and skills that need to be filled and your participation would be highly valued.

What can be done immediately:

1) Collaborate on defining the migration project plan.
2) Investigate LTI as an underlying mechanism for exposing Sakai 2 tools within the Saki 3 portal.
3) Investigate Moodle's export/import architecture and file formats.
4) Develop a Sakai 2 Resources (i.e. ContentHosting) to Sakai 3 JCR data conversion.

If any of these tasks sound interesting or you have other ideas you would like to share, please use the wiki space below.  Please take the time to declare your area of interest on the Contributors page.
