Very impressive; I am enthused to follow this closely. Glad to see this diagram online (I’m currently in Tony’s session where he presented this diagram at the OpenEd 2008 conference).

A halfway point was to utilise the idea of 'roundtripping' ( e.g. http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/009018.html ) using services such as delicious that could both capture links from third party apps used within the Stringle iframe, and then re-expose those links through a delicious feed in the navigation sidebar. Looking back over stringle, I still think it's a good idea, even if the execution is ropey... ;-) Still, it did only take 20-30 hrs of just my time to do, which comes out as v cheap on my meeting/project cost calculator!
