Hi Tom, There is indeed a group of people doing Edu stuff with Plone, and the WebLion folks are part of that. I'm a bit out of the loop on what they have been doing lately, but they aim to have PloneEdu set up as a group to handle these things.
I've CCed Mike Halm here, he should be able to fill you in on what they are doing. — Alexander On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 8:38 AM, Clark, Tom <tomcl...@shawu.edu> wrote: > Plonefolk, > > Some of you will know the EDUCAUSE organization that covers the higher > education technology space.
