How about some type of SDK where users can develop their own plug ins for the system?
For instance, right now I want to import my teachers HTML notes into GoBinder. There are about 100+ notes on which I would like to annotate. I could easily write a small plug in which would send a selection of files to GoBinder.
As a student I love GoBinder and think it is invaluable. But as a programmer I hate how I can't modify it! This will satify my needs and it will also have a community extending the application and making it more usable.
Another use, My school uses WebCT which is not yet integrated into the system, then getting my school to use the software which would allow me to sync would be impossible. To get around this I could write something which would scrape the contents of the HTMl files and get important information which is always in the same place such as general Anouncements, Homework assignments, Tests etc...
