<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Sharepoint was created by MS as
another way to make money out of businesses (they will surely eventually

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Moodle was created by an Aussie
specifically as a learning/sharing tool (Content Management System) for
schools and universities.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>From <A

<DIV dir=ltr>Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, <A

Source</FONT></A> software package designed using sound <A

<DIV dir=ltr>Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services technology in Windows
Server 2003 is an integrated portfolio of collaboration and communication
services designed to connect people, information, processes, and systems both
within and beyond the organizational firewall. <FONT color=#800000

principles here!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800000 size=2>The link on the above
MS page to 'case studies' gives you a fair idea of why Sharepoint
was designed - all the studies are of BIG business, and all talk of how
sharepoint helped increase their profits one way or another (by increased
productivity etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Moodle - cross platform, will always
be open source and free, thousands of contributors across the world will
ensure it stays at the cutting edge of CMS software</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Sharepoint - only works with Windows
Server 2003, will it always be free with Server 2003 or will they eventually
start charging for it? If so will DEET continue to fund it? Also you are stuck
creating web pages in FrontPage, do you want that limitation?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Let the big businesses who have money
to throw around on consultants and expensive software use Sharepoint. Let's
show our kids that there IS an alternative to MS and its expensive
bloatware. (it costs a student over $450 to install Win XP Home and
Office Pro Academic on their home computers - no wonder many resort to
downloading illegal copies via limewire.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>The NSW Government is already moving
towards open source (see <A
href="http://www.opensource.nsw.gov.au">www.opensource.nsw.gov.au</A> ),
Victoria will eventually follow suit - so why not just set up moodle and be
done with it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>And no ... I am not an anti MS person
- I use their applications every day, but I am PRO FOSS, and I believe
there will come a time (5 years? 10 years?) when FOSS will be the first choice
for most people, government departments, schools and businesses. The use of
FOSS will grow exponentially over the next few years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>And then there is another fly in
the soup ... DEET's "Ultranet" .... will we be forced to use that when it
finally has been tested and packaged for all schools?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
