I'm happy to make up a survey monkey thing and send it out. We just
need to agree on the questions to put in the survey.

The suggestion of asking/making the OAE steering committee aware of the need has come up. The idea would be to explain that a failure of CLE would (1) erode trust in the Sakai brand and probably limit adoption of OAE and (2) damage OAE in the short term since it lacks most of the teaching and learning functionality that is necessary for schools.
