Someone has mentioned that Digital Creations has taken on someone who is to implement a zope-based virtual learning environment tool kit.
Is this so? Any mailing lists or contacts or test areas?
You're probably referring to me. I haven't taken an active role in this area recently because of the time it takes to get married (January/February), change jobs (March/April), move across the country (April), and get settled in a new area. :-)
The zope-edu project was doing well for a while but we were unable to define the scope of the project. There are a lot of facets involved and everybody was approaching it with a very different perspective. And nobody knew the technology well enough: it's too easy to re-implement things in Zope that have already been done by others. A battle ensued over naming conventions (ZSchool? ZopeEdu? Something else?) and the mailing list eventually reached an activity level of zero.
Which IMHO was actually mainly due to the maillist server severely suffering from outage and millenium bugs, because before that I recall discussions were very much alive, and of a high quality.
The Zope-edu list is now available at the sourceforge site : http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=3093 Yes, there is almost zero activity and i have also recently a lot of work too. Maybe if there is enough interest, the project can rebirth. -- Serge Stinckwich -< ) Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (frozen) CNRS UPRESA 6072>GREYC>I3>SMILE /~\ http://debian.org/ Université de Caen>IUT de Caen>Campus 3>Dept Info (/ | http://zope.org/ http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/~stincs _|_/ http://zschool.org/
