Hello All, I am very please to see you have some insight to eventually integrate ILIAS within Debian-Edu/Skolelinux. In the education district area of Acad�mie of Bordeaux, ILIAS has been used and customized to develop ARGOS for local use in junior and senior high schools, potentially 10 thousand of users (http://www.ac-bordeaux.fr/argos/).
