I whole-heartedly agree, Matt. ITDamager has created a WPMU sitewide feed, but it is only working with dynamic sub domain installs thus far, and we are not running that option just yet.

I think playing with the feed possibilities right now is the next step to a larger system-wide integration. I am fairly certain, given my scouring of the forums, that more sophisticated feed capabilities will be in the near-future builds.

Functionality I would love to see, that comes stock with WordPress.com sites, is the community tags. This could be extremely useful for feeding student content to specific courses, groups, organizations, etc. The digital five ring binder manifested!

Also, isn’t time WordPress integrated with MediaWiki in more sophisticated ways? I can think of a million and one uses for this relationship.

Thanks so much for posting this, Jim — I had been having trouble getting the BDP Aggregation going without exec-php. Thanks to your post, I’ve got it working now.

It seems to me that providing aggregation from student blogs in a WPMU installation is essential to making WPMU work. Ideally, this should be built into WPMU itself . . . perhaps it will be in future versions.
