No, I have not asked on ports about updating. I contacted privately the port maintainer who promised that he will update port pending on his time. Fortunately, he happens to work on more interesting things than updating Moodle. Since he is busy and I need the port I fell it is up to me to send the diff which people will test. Well guess what? I did little bit of research and asking around so I prefer to spend my time on ATutor. That is just a personal preference. The Moodle in present state is useless as it doesn't contain the grade-book module. The grade-book has been introduced in Moodle one or two releases after the Kev's port. Some of more interesting features of Moodle according to my source are closed source and needs to be purchased. I am all ears and I would love to be contradicted and provided with other testimonials. ATutor feels lot simpler than Moodle but I might be very wrong. Most Kind Regards, Predrag Punosevac
