Have we completely given up on using Moodle for this?  Julie Pichon put a
lot of work into migrating the old courses from mbox format to Moodle and
we've been waiting for .. oh, at least a year, for Postgres to be upgraded
on the server :(

We had a new version of Moodle, with the SSO problems removed (we took away
SSO from the main Linuxchix site after a long discussion about it), and all
the courses ready to go.

If people want to go ahead and copy and paste them all over to the new
Drupal then I'll happily bow out, but I think it's really a pity since it's
a huge duplication of effort for something that could have been solved a
year ago, but that was held up by a relatively small task.

Cheers,
Penny
