Moodle - Most sophisticated open source application!

I just read an interesting article (Open Source Vision) in the the July 2006 issue of Campus Technology.  I've included a quote from the article regarding Moodle.  I also put it in the Moodle Buzz.

"Of all the open source applications on the market today, Moodle is perhaps the most sophisticated. The application has a large and diverse user community with more than 100,000 registered users speaking more than 700 languages, spread across 150 countries. Here in the US, a big Moodle adopter is Humboldt State University (CA), where Michael Penney, learning management systems project manager, says the school has built a brand-new course management system around it. Another big user: the University of Portland (OR), where a Moodle application dubbed Learning@UP is enabling professors to teach in new and exciting ways, including holding additional discussion sections online."

I'm thinking this is good.  We want to be sophisticated, right? சிரி

I do not really know what "sophisticated" is...

Anyway, I am a native Spanish speaker, so I do not worry too much about it.

What I do know is that Moodle means for me: it is the perfect e-learning software with the best design criteria: "simple and powerful".

Regarding Moodle statistics, I think that the total number of users is right now 4,692,106 users worldwide (though I do not know exactly how those statistics are calculated).
