I haven't "with mine own eyes", but that's a long, sad story involving management that doesn't believe in open source at the school I used to work in... I have been connected, mostly lurking, the development of OA for at least 2 years and have come across several actual users, so definitely, it is being used, though not yet a mainline thing. The main developer is very open to working with people of all levels, so that works to my advantage :-). Yes, I totally agree with you that you shouldn't trust or recommend anything unless you have really good evidence, the only one really passing all muster is one's own experience, so I think the question is fair and appropriate. I often complain about the need for more of this approach in the Peripherals side of this biznai... That's why I wasn't volunteering you guys to implement it, but rather just sharing that I would try and look and see. > - How much does it overlap with Moodle? zero idea, since I am still very unfamiliar with Moodle. I agree this is pretty much vital, but since they both potentially use either database system, it should work (famous last words... :-)) I am copying this message to Les, he might be able to answer this one, and maybe he gets interested in OLPC! > > m _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
