Saw one demonstrated at the local LUG -- pretty slick within 
its scope.  Saving content is a bit of an issue -- email will 
have to be imap and left on server, But it it was pretty nice 
within its deaign scope.

It is expansible -- that is, the sources are available, and 
one could customize for a given learning situation, and just 
swap CD's when the next class came to the computer lab.
