Summary notes

 * 1) Will aim to implement WEnotes comment feature for each page
 * 2) Assuming low numbers of non OERu partner learners, we should be able to provide WP hosting support on course.oeru.org for the duration of the course, but will retain the openshift domain of one's own option.
 * 3) Will use a wiki table for blog registration.
 * 4) Noted that Amazon reserved instance is up for renewal. Tech team will explore options and make recommendation.
 * 5) Noted that OERF will support commissioned development of up to 4 courses for MVP
