Wanted to let folks know that the Drupal 6 and eventually Drupal 7 upgrade for the http://socialmediaclassroom.com project is going to be done in a way that will make it:
-
An optional install profile to use with OpenScholar as base
-
The features of "Blog, Forum, Wiki, Chatroom, Social Bookmarking, Learning E-Portfolio (and microblog and RSS and other data import in Drupal 6 version)" will also be features available for other types of sites if the OpenScholar install profile is run.
This will be done in a way that is coordinated with OpenScholar releases, so that Social Media Classroom is always inter-operable with OpenScholar. We're pretty excited about this, because it brings some functionality to Social Media Classroom that lots of educators have asked for, and it brings some pre-configured tools to OpenScholar.
The work on the SMC release will take place here:

We'll work out in the coming months with OpenScholar team the best way to integrate install profile and .make files, themes, etc. and then we'll create a timeline/roadmap
This is all volunteer/donation, so if you want to contribute please let us know (or you can donate at http://socialmediaclassroom.com/community/ )
