Greg,

 

We can try MOODLE, it's a PHP aplication, with very nice features like wiki,
fórum, chat, etc.

 

I have used this for two years in my classes in Universidade de Brasilia
(Brazil)

 

It's possible to control the login and administration is very easy.

 

 

"Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software
package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators
create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on
any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a
single-teacher site to a 50,000-student University. This site itself is
created using Moodle, so check out the Moodle Demonstration Courses or read
the latest Moodle Buzz."

 

Please, look at

Nice to hear from you

We tried a Wiki for Radiance already and it didn't go anywhere, and  

was inundated by adware.  I don't really blame Wiki for this -- the  

problem was more lack of groundswell and necessary controls, which  

I'm sure we could remedy if we were a little more organized.

 

I am not versed on the merits of or differences between Plone and  

Wiki, and I know very little about either.  Both Peter Apian- 

Bennewitz and Daniel Fuller (the sysadmin for LBL's website) say  

Plone is better, but you would have to ask them for details.  I'm  

willing to trust others' judgement on the matter, as I have no  

expertise in the area of web management.  I can make some simple  

HTML, and that's about it.

 

The important thing is that we agree to contribute material, and the  

site administrator should be happy and/or paid for their efforts,  

which I suspect would be substantial using either system.  In other  

words, setting up a Wiki site may be easy, but protecting it from  

adware while developing useful content may in fact be easier with  

Plone.  I leave the debate to others.
