Note what I mean here are the LOR projects (not the repositories themselves, which you can find over here) that are producing RSS feeds as a way to communicate about their projects or otherwise coordinate their efforts. These include:

- D'Arcy Norman's Learning Commons Weblog (for the CAREO/APOLLO projects)
- The Resource Pool, a Eduspecs-funded test pilot of a CAREO implmentation
- R2R: Learning Design - a new initiative out of University of Calgary to implement a Learning Design tool
- APOLLO-DEV, the proper technical blog for the Apollo project at U of Calgary
- Stòr Cùram, a blog from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland on their LOR initiative, apparently employing Intrallect's Intralibrary

I haven't listed CogDogBlog in here, as Alan posts on so many other things beside the Maricopa Learning Exchange, but it's certainly not because it doesn't deserve attention. I expect I missed other's as well, or maybe have you filed somewhere else in Bloglines but still cover your feed. If you are working on an LOR implementation or development project and running a blog, I'd love to hear about it, include it on this list and follow along.

And what, you ask, about my own project... embarassingly, I am so swamped trying to meet our initial project requirements phase deadlines that we haven't created anything public to date, except this space here, which is not an official 'organ' of the project. Stay tuned for more news, though... - SWL
