Apache Wookie (Incubating) span out of an EU project called Ten 
Competence, which produces a personal competence manager. Not a VLE, 
sure, but related.

Wookie is a gadget server that hides the varying gadget standards 
(OpenSocial, GoogleGadgets and W3C Widgets) behind a standards compliant 
layer (W3C Widgets).

I'd suggest that if there is a use case for gadgets in Sakai that you 
consider adopting Apache Wookie as the engine for this. It is already 
supported in Moodle, Elgg, Wordpress, Drupal, Simal and a number of 
other platforms. Implementation is a simple matter of writing a few 
methods in some supplied abstract classes and displaying the resulting 
widgets in your UI.

However, don't let me distract you from examining the use cases first. 
If you do want to have a look at Wookie I'll see you on the Wookie lists 
http://incubator.apache.org/wookie
