I'm thinking that the first time they run into minor trouble, they will call the company that manages Moodle for help. Then they will likely pay for a small support contract to get their fixes done more quickly. It is still a good thing for those involved, since there are usually varying levels of support contracts, and they are probably much cheaper than 350K/yr and the developers get paid to keep things going. With the way that LSU's intellectual property rules work, I can't imagine LSU giving developer time to the project. I hope I'm wrong on this... :-) -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas at iname.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
