Hi Dan

Just want to explain some things:

>we don't want to disallow embedding content.

We don't believe that we can possibly build all the necessary and
useful components for online learning. We simply don't have the
capacity to do so.We would also like people to be able to leverage
other online resources. A common way for this to happen is by
embedding external content in P2PU courses.

At the same time we cannot throw all caution to the wind. We do get
targeted by some spammers and cleaning up spam isn't that much fun :(

So, we are looking to improve support for embedding external
resources. We would like to implement this ASAP, but reality doesn't
allow for that right now.

Hope this clears things up a little

Cheers
d
