Hi,

In the new site the approach for now is to identify which elements
users need to embed, and provide support for them. Allowing <iframe>s
for the old site was a measure taken to facilitate running courses
this round, but in <iframes> are to general to be allowed as rich
text. By relaying on iframes the new site could become a collage of
web pages. I hope that by allowing to embed specific kinds of content
and supporting other kinds of interactions with external tools
(through RSS, activity streams, ...) we will be able to balance
between what peers use inside and outside of new.p2pu.org.

The two elements that can be embed right now are youtube videos and
slideshare presentations and the syntax is:

[slideshare:http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=creative-commons-spectrum-of-rights-1192738788152957-2]

This are replaced by the corresponding html fragments needed to embed them.

The todo list related to embeding things contains:
