Hi Frances,

We are working on the LAMS Road Map and hopefully we'll put it here in the community for everyone to see where LAMS is heading.

I believe you might find an answer on how LAMS is structured in the LAMS Foundation website, in the FAQ section (http://lamsfoundation.org/CD/html/faqs.html).

The current structure of the LAMS Community is very simple (and we will try to keep it like that). One Educational Community for teachers with very few subgroups according to the sector (K12, Higher Ed, etc). Then the LAMS Lounge to talk basically about anything (similar to the General Forum in Moodle.org). And a Tech Community for people who like to get under the hood. Every one is free to join (or drop) these communities as they please.

One of the main features of the LAMS Community is the central repository of LAMS sequence (http://lamscommunity.org/lamscentral) where anyone can share their sequences with the anyone, comment, rate them, etc.

It took us a while to get this site up and running. But I think (hopefully) that it provides some tools for LAMS practitioners to share experiences, share sequences and ask questions and get support from their peers. Of course, this doesn't make it automatically a successful community, but it helps.

Ernie
