Oh, this old chestnut. This has been bashed out before. There are a lot of
major issues here. My day job actually involves e-learning, accreditation,
etc. and I know more about pedagogical analysis and how it relates to
work-based continual professional development than I want to.

The fact that I just wrote that paragraph proves it.

Anyway, a wiki is better for modelling what people want and captures 
requirements into something useable, I think.

I've started something at the link below, just with my initial thoughts,
please edit it, change it, add to it, see what we get out of the other side:

http://vagueware.com/Open_Training

and the discussion could happen here:

http://vagueware.com/Talk:Open_Training

Trust me, if this just goes on and on in a mailing list, nothing will 
happen. It almost did a year or so ago, but failed. At least this way with 
some work we can put together a real plan on how to make this happen, and 
then we can go out and do it. Like one of the VagueWare.com slogans says, 
with a lot of really hard work, one day it could become vaporware. :-)
