What is the reasoning behind all this.\r\n\r\n* What exactly is this standard trying to solve? What use cases do you have in mind?\r\n* And what is it explicitly NOT trying to solve (and why)?\r\n* Why are you defining a new standard in the first place? What are the errors in SCORM that you are going to avoid, and how will you do this? (It would be nice to have a list of 'flaws in SCORM', each with an answer on how the new standard will solve that problem)\r\n* Why did you make the choices you made? (for example, you chose xml as a format, but you should be able to defend that choice when somebody comes along an says: 'why not use JSON?')\r\n* What are the consequences on a technological level? Also think about a possible implementation, and the problems that will need to be solved. If you write a nice standard that is extremely hard to implement, and no one even writes a reference implementation, it might take a long time before it is actually being picked up (look at xslt2.0 for example)\r\n* How does it fit in a world full of mobile devices and apps?\r\n* ...\r\n\r\nI think it is because people can ask those 'why' questions, that things - that may have been overlooked the first time - are brought to your attention. (I suppose that you didn't put this publicly on github because you don't want other people to share their thoughts?)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AICC/CMI-5_Spec_Current/issues/comments/135802817","html_url":"https://github.com/AICC/CMI-5_Spec_Current/issues/230#issuecomment-135802817","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AICC/CMI-5_Spec_Current/issues/230","id":135802817,"user":{"login":"MrBillMcDonald","id":1656316,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1656316?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald","html_url":"https://github.com/MrBillMcDonald","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/MrBillMcDonald/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-28T15:17:41Z","updated_at":"2015-08-28T15:17:41Z","body":"Document describing CMI5 overview, scope, advantages, SCORM comparision will address these questions.
