If I'm WEB-CT, I'm WORRIED! 
Congrats!
I think they are starting to feel the pressure from the open source movement:

What's the Difference Between Open Source and Open Systems? Chris Vento, Chief Technology Officer, WebCT What does open source really mean, and how is it different than open systems? Chris Vento will discuss WebCT's open system architecture and SDK-enabled interoperability framework. He will discuss how open systems deliver many, if not all, of the perceived open source advantages, within the context of a highly tested, performance engineered, stable, supported product that has been designed for enterprise level interoperability.

Hello Martin (and others),
Greetings from Finnish Lapland. I am the WebCT administrator of a Polytechnic and abhorred by the price increase of commercial software (400 percent over the past 4 years!). The cost of the eLearning environment is strangling our budget; hence my interest in open source solutions.
So far I have not yet found an open source learning environment that could replace the main functionality of WebCT. I have been checking out Claroline (www.claroline.net), but it does not look appealing yet. We are using FLE3 (http://fle3.uiah.fi) on a limited scale, but the strong focus of that environment on only one pedagogical approach (progressive enquiry) and its limited student management options, mean that it can not be adopted widely in our organisation.
I had heard the name Moodle dropped before at eLearning conferences, but never stumbled upon it myself until recently. I must confess that, so far, I am pleased with what I see, but I need yet to go through all the tools in detail.
Is there anyone who can give a considered opinion on how Moodle compares to WebCT, for a student population of about 3000 and some 500 on-line courses? (I will post this message in the main Moodle discussion too.)
Kind regards, Paul
P.S. I am sure WebCT is seeing the writing on the wall, they are already losing customers in Finland (those with a smaller user base than we have). They try to slow down this development by tying clients to them in three-year license contracts, which are rather narrowly defined.
Cool, #13 on freshmeat.net ... thanks for the votes!
Wow! Moodle is now the 8th-highest-rated project on Freshmeat! 
Congratulations Martin! To the stratosphere!
Actually, Moodle is #2 behind Tiki if we look at only the PHP CMS type apps 
Followed by another great tool I use along with Moodle - Gallery

This script rocks. It is so simple to use and maintain. All the jocks who charge like raging bulls for crappy scripts should take a leaf out of this guy's book...

Oops, didn't even know about that 
. Is there anything that Martin hasn't written? We have some ugly green-screen admin apps still running on an AS400 at our college that no one can seem to get replaced. Hmmm .... what would it take to get Martin and a few of you to come on over to the states and ....... sorry, just dreaming

At one time Gallery and Photoframe were neck and neck but then I started working on Moodle. Gallery is an advanced project now with many excellent features but I still use Photoframe for my own things.
I'll be in the states next week, is that soon enough?

Well, Martin, after all these years I still use PhotoFrame for my image galleries. Any chance we'll see a PhotoFrame module in Moodle?

Hi!
I did not find a gallery type mod in MOODLE (unless I missed something). This would be a nice feature to allow for the posting of diagrams and images in a way which makes it easy to view, choose from and possibly download. This would be especially useful to techers/instructors who could upload graphics (including images and diagrams) used in class/course and then decide which ones to link to or place in a particular course's gallery. MAMBO (www.mamboserver.com) has something of this nature.
Just a thought

Yep me too! Nothing seems to be as quick and simple. It does exactly what I want and probably. How easy would it be to integrate it into Moodle?
Right now I am running a course called the Business School where 15 year old students run their own business for a couple of weeks.
Moodle holds them together. One teacher takes a lot of pictures, puts them on his (slow) server and then links them from a Moodle news forum.
Wouldn't it be nice....

Quite probably, yes! It would be quite simple, because it could just be pointed at any folder in the files area.
How user-friendly is PhotoFrame? I've even gotten a few of my Luddite relatives to use it to share photos with the rest of us, they love PhotoFrame!
Tui is a real cutey Martin. I like the "Christmas tree in the snow" and "the new bike".

flippin eck!
While we are all on this, anyone here got experience with Typo3? We got snookered paying MS for CMS - which as far as anyone can make out is junk. Another school HIGHLY recommended typo3 for CMS, but i've installed it and... bewildering! Steep learning curve but looks to be VERY cool when done...
