Prototyping a new OERca

An idea from the CETIS UKOLN OER Hack Days

Prototype a new OERca.

At present, OERca is in production at Open.Michigan contact [mailto:lotia@umich.edu Ali Asad Lotia lotia@umich.edu] for trial accounts. Since it was initially written for use at Open.Michigan, we didn't account for it to be very customizable for other institutions. It is somewhat presumptuous of the hierarchy of schools and colleges (assumes everyone names their School, Colleges the same as the University of Michigan), term names, license types etc.

The codebase is getting a bit ragged. So, if other people are interested in the tool, we could use the collective wisdom of hack day attendees to prototype a new version. We have some ideas for a new version on our wiki. Doing so, would help it work better at institutions outside the University of Michigan.
