Ben Werdmuller, Co-Entwickler der Web-Lernumgebung ELGG sowie langjähriger Weblog-Autor, hat Treffendes zur Kritik am “Open Repository of Multimedia Texts” Ourmedia mitzuteilen:

I’m entirely distrustful of it, simply because it’ll be a central store of data, which is great until there’s some kind of funding problem (…).
What would have been far cooler, in my view, would be a sort of front end / metadata aggregator to a distributed network of digital media. Ourmedia’s solution is akin to people signing up to Compuserve or AOL and joining its embedded communities, all stored in a little walled garden; it doesn’t use the Internet to its fullest, and I think in a couple of years we’ll have moved on to something much better.
