[Courses] [python] Would it be possible to set up a open source course management system?

[Laylaa]

Akkana,

I'm using moodle at my school at the moment.
Granted I'm not administering the whole install, but I am administering my
courses.
And a lot of it is, um, I learn as I go, when I please.

So if nobody steps up I can *try*.
If someone does, then I can *help*.

Maybe I can even ask my administrators for pointers...

Laylaa
