Sorry; when importing I selected the GNU/Linux collection. And looking 
in that collection, the object was indeed located there. So far very 
good. Now still there is something missing: I cannot open the SCORM 
object through the collection manager: it gives the missing course 
structure error of which I told you yesterday.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/var/lib/zope2.9/instance/plone-site/var/GB/selfplatform/gbobjects/c/o/course30/2227_CourseStructure'

And thinking about the Import procedure I have a remark about the 
selection of the collection where the imported object should be placed. 
As I see it now, the various collections that are presented in the 
dropdown list look similar to the ones in the Collection manager, though 
not following the exact same order and hierarchy. For userfriendliness 
sake alone I think it would be necessary to follow the same order and 
hierarchy. I would suggest that the dropdown reflects the top level and 
subcollections something like below. This is a summary from the Learning 
Materials report: See Deliverable D1 at 
http://selfproject.eu/en/project/results

And thinking of it, following that principle, I suppose it is simpler to 
code also. What do you think?

Once you have migrated the BETA and we can start adding collections, let 
me know. So we start adding the main collections there!
