Yep, most of them have been imported (including LaTeX!
http://courses.linuxchix.org/course/view.php?id=7 -- but we need the
Postgres upgrade before the SSO's removed and everyone has access...).
There's about 3 courses missing because they required a few manuals
steps and I let myself be distracted by life, but I'd be more than
happy to fix that over the week-end.

Same, and I may even have a bit of time to help out, but I would
really love it if we gave Moodle another chance, especially for
courses to be.

All the best,
