Hi Barry, It would certainly be possible to make FarCry into an LMS, and would probably make for a great plug-in to attract more Education providers over to both FarCry and ColdFusion.
As Blair said, make sure you look at FC4 as the formtools alone make it worth upgrading from 3. Where you might have fun is if you wanted the plug-in to be IMS and SCORM compliant. If you do decide to proceed make sure you sign up to the FarCry Dev group (the USER group is a bit quiet and the BETA groups is obviously for beta testers :) ) http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev Out of interest, is this for a government education department or a private provider?
