1. "hot topics" (maininterest for a national service) so far appear to be "content management" and "integration"

_Content Management:

''The requirements collected by three of the four working groups indicate a special interest in the area of content management. It still seems to be an open question if the requirements can be better met by a repository or by a content management system. To help to clarify this question and to support your definition of the requirements and possible candidates, we have described''

four possible scenarios.[1]

''The aim of the description of these scenarios is to support the working groups, *if* they intend to proceed in this direction - the groups are absolutely free to emphasise other requirements, scenarios and products in the following meeting!''

_Integration: Integration of major LMS with surrounding tools (video-conferencing, e-collaboration, instant messaging, web-logs, calendar, repository).

_Further topics that have been mentioned are applicable to any software type(like LMS, CMS, conferencing etc.): "ease of use, customizable anonymous access, multi-lingual."

2. Context of SWITCH services: ''With regard to the existing and planned services of SWITCH in the context of e-learning, both CMS/Repository and integration services could be a reasonable extension of the service portfolio.''

Overview SWITCH SWITCH Services.doc

''In the area of CMS/Repository it will be easy to identify open source software that could be hosted and supported by SWITCH. The topic "integration" would perfectly match with the existing services; probably it wouldn't make sense to meet this need with an OSS or to restrict such services to the OSS sector. We could imagine such a service as a by-product of our identification of requirements - what do you think?''

3. Support for the clarification of requirements:

Requirement specification [2]

''You'll find a framework that contains requirements mentioned by the working groups and questions of the project management regarding specification and supplementation of criteria. Again, this appendix is meant to support the requirement definition. It may also be supplemented and/or applied to other software types that the working groups prefer.''
