Looks neat. I also note <http://openacademic.org/> which is apparently
trying to achieve some integration of Elgg, Moodle, Drupal and
MediaWiki. MediaWiki-related posts:
<http://openacademic.org/taxonomy/term/4>. I think they are just
talking about using OpenID + Special:Export/Special:Import to share
data, which to my mind is not particularly integrated, but I guess
it's something.
