To my dismay I found that the Drupal people have a major initiative to replace Moodle with their own behemoth.

I can’t stand PHP. What annoys me most about PHP is the way it includes libraries and doesn’t create a namespace for it in the new context. Every time I read PHP code, I always wonder where this or that function came from. Oh! And the fact that all this code executes directly from inside document root is just so bat shit crazy it surprises me that PHP even survived.

Harumph.

So anyway, yeah I would rather not see Drupal do well in this space. I’m pretty sure that Plone could come up with a pretty kick ass solution, but as far as I know there isn’t any initiative to make Plone work for K-12 educational settings.

It certainly can though.
