Anyone come across dotlrn?

[MkII]

Just had this email from a colleague:

 

I don't know if any of you have come across this?

http://dotlrn.org/

 

This appears to be a hugely comprehensive managed learning environment

application. Open Source of course! Have a look at the product summary

page to get a feel for what it can do http://dotlrn.org/product/

 

Also there are some good Flash demos of many of the applications at

http://www.dotlrn.org/demos-dotlrn/

 

There is an internationalisation package for UK English, but not Cymraeg so

far.

 

Looks a long way ahead of Moodle to me.

 

In terms of technology, this is a bit out of the mainstream. It is based on

open sourced AOL technology which provides a comprehensive, standardised

application runtime and development platform. See http://openacs.org/

Apparently .LRN requires quite a different web server setup and needs

an Oracle or Postgres database - both more complex database systems to

setup and manage than MySQL.

 

I just want to know why I haven't seen this recomended.
