[Nate Angell]

Thanks Sam, actual tangible steps contributors can take are extremely helpful. 

In this case, the motivated parties are doing the work, they are just looking for guidance.

Here is how it worked with TurnItIn integration: 1) create a generic API for plagiarism detection called contentreview-service, 2) work with CLE Team to get patches for new service committed, 3) request a contrib space in Sakai SVN, 4) maintain an open-source integration layer in contrib, 5) write up some documentation on how others can build and deploy the integration.

Perhaps Ramesh and his team can weigh in on how the work that they have already completed fits in that ideal vision, and/or, how where this existing work needs to be integrated so that we can move a step forward in the meantime. Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
