  1. A best-of-breed up-and-coming framework on Harvard Open Source Courseware · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Disclaimer: I am not connected in any way with MIT (I'm from Univ. of Texas at Austin). MIT (along with others) has an excellent project called dotlrn:

    MIT Intellectual Commons (collection of related e-learning initiatives including dotlrn): http://web.mit.edu/cet/strategy/commons.html

    What is .LRN? (from www.dotlrn.org ):

    -A fully open source eLearning platform.

    -A portal framework and integrated application suite to support course management and online communities.

    -A scalable, secure, and enterprise-ready eLearning platform that can be deployed readily by small and large organizations.

    -A modular architecture to permit flexibility and to drive innovation.

    -A set of best practices in online learning shared in the form of source code.

    The dotlrn project page has documentation, news, forums... It is hosted on the www.openacs.org site, which is the parent web framework upon which dotlrn is based. Besides the above, the framework has a rich architecture for managing permissions, users, groups, content management, course management, forums, email, and more.

  2. Re:Unmaintained Free Software on Transferring the Leadership of Open Source Projects? · · Score: 1
    Uwe, this is very admirable and I hope useful.

    I intend on working on a 'leadership exchange' and a 'leaderdev' resource to do exactly what your page does (and is implied in this submission in general), but in a more general and collaborative way. (As a part of that, I will probably be working with you to improve both of our resources :)

    I propose my 'leaderdev' resource to connect projects with leadership and leaders with leadership resources to shepherd (and sometimes pass on) their projects.

    Please watch this space for more developments--I am in the process as we speak of putting together the proposal and site/resources.

    Don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested in collaborating, even at this early stage, at my email address. --Chris
