Rüdiger, if you don't mind me asking, would you at some stage consider producing a screencast, especially with respect to TheRec and its use? I think that this would be helpful to make people understand how this is a viable alternative to the capture agent based approach of recording lectures. Also, I seem to remember the GSOC project called "Matterhorn Market Place" not being too successful, but given the increasing number of contributions to the core, we should come back to that idea, once dubbed "Gear Shop", maybe along the lines of (or coinciding with) http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/3rd+Party+Vendors?
