Come to think of it, shouldn't the Transnational Qualification Framework (http://www.wikieducator.org/Qualification_Framework) taxonomy align with the Categories portal list (http:// www.wikieducator.org/Template:Portal_list)? I believe that once we have alignment of the "curriculum" taxonomy (categories) with the qualifications framework and the quality assurance approach we would have built a very serious foundation (*and we have most resources within these three structures, particularly having a resource categorised within the qualifications framework*) for the management and deployment of OERs...
