Re: [Self-platform-dev] "My" Resources, and what about resources from others?

[Wouter Tebbens]

Nagarjuna: thanks for the instructions, I have been able to follow them 
and import the already uploaded SCORM file (from another user). 
Importing took a long while but it is finally here:

I think there's some work to do on linebreak issues there, but that's 
for the LM team, I suppose.

best,

Wouter
