we have 'moodle' (for some reason our ITS calls it 'nexus') and I used 
to use it when it first came out. I have looked to see if this is 
built in and it probably is, or they could activate it, but I haven't 
found it yet; I should just ask and I might settle for it but I don't 
like using moodle otherwise so that would be my only use for it -- it 
is a rather large canon for the little fly I want to swat.

I am more partial to drupal but haven't yet found a utility for file 
uploading that was simple enough to configure in small snatches of 
time I have for it. it often seems to require installing this and that 
module, updating the whole she-bang and so on.

I just don't have time for reconstructive surgery on my drupal site, 
not now at least and now would be a great time to have the upload 
utility.

oh, well. pardon the off-off-topic; we should get back to the main 
off-topic or even on topic!
