Hi Ed, This is really exciting. I'll have a closer look over the weekend but I'd certainly like to help. I also think the xAPI is an important piece of tech and have many thoughts about how it could be used both in formal educational and personal learning settings. If I can help in any way, I'd love to.
For what it's worth I am involved with the global learning x-prize and am also close to completing my first 'port' of an open-source math textbook to TW5 (which I'll post here very soon). My goal is to make TW into a platform for remixing OERs and thus making existing content more useful through re-use. I like the idea of textbooks that can report back to the teacher as students work with them.
