Crowdsourcing: What are some good platforms to build open educational resources on? I've got the basics like Omeka S, Omeka, Drupal, Wordpress, but it's been a while I have looked at platforms.

For most of our digital projects, we use Rails, but this will be a site that needs continual updating so we need something with user controls and permissions.

@nirak What's wrong with Devise on Rails for user accounts/authentication? I also played around with RefineryCMS a few years ago and was impressed.

@benwbrum I phrased that badly. The rails software we made and use to publish materials has no authentication system (we use it to organize & display data created by other means), and would not be a good use case for the proposed project. A rails cms would be fine!

I suspect Omeka S will be a good candidate but want to make sure I am not overlooking something.

@nirak We've been piloting Omeka S as an OER-focused catalog, with hosting. You mentioned WordPress and are likely aware that Pressbooks transforms it into a full book-focused OER-production and hosting platform. Manifold and PubPub serve similar roles.
For certain #OER projects, it's a good idea to focus on granularity/modularity. In that case, creating activities in H5P is a valid approach. You can do so in a CMS or LMS.
