<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=2>I thought Ed:IT launching on
10th March (School of Ed and Learning Team Nottingham) were open source having
produced tools for Moodle - the audio recorder for example and various other
tools are contributing to Moodle development. Seems to me that you do a lot to
support open source already.</FONT></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>When I've done open source projects in the past, I have
found it to be a one way street. The promised legions of developers who would
turn up and freely give of their time to improve the code, fix all the bugs and
write the documentation never appeared. We have an open mind about open source -
we're not against it, but supporting an open source project would require a
significant investment of our time, which we don't have right
now.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
