Right on.

I think it's probably easiest to start with Web 2.0ish
gadgetized/widgetized stuff because (a) it's already been designed for
this type of thing, and (b) there are a lot more opportunities for
teachers to play with these things "in the wild" and bring use cases
back to the community. But ultimately, I'd like to see Sakai-internal
tools move in this direction as well, to the degree that it's practical
to do so.
