I might be interested. I did the virtual school project in mod_perl. 
Must have been doing something right... I won the $25,000 Paul Allen 
competition with the taming the electronic frontier course ;)

However I'm not sure our goals are aligned. I've gave up trying to 
"put lecture materials online" (note your website) when I realized 
that wasn't consistent with the use the right tool for the job 
philosophy.

It is impossible to beat brick and mortar lectures at what lectures 
are great at... delivering non-experiential information from prof to 
students, with retention relatively unimportant, gauged only 
occasionally via quizes.

It was only when I redefined the goal in student-centric terms, as 
"delivering top quality learning to students whereever they might 
be", that things started clicking. Finally resigned when it became 
clear that the this was completely inconsistent with the goals of 
higher education, certainly at GMU if not in general.

For more about this, see http://virtualschool.edu/98c and especially
