I guess we’ll be seeing this more and more - Commercial LMS starting to package, support and enhance various open source products. In this case Angel has enhanced TiddlyWiki and released the enhancements back to the community. This is a step in a great direction and one that is at odds with edu patents. Blackboard already has Wiki and Blog support via the Learning Objects building blocks. I do feel that there is merit in integrating Blackboard with something like XWiki or Confluence - both of which have excellent plugin architectures. Confluence is commercial but is just too good to be ignored. Anyway more on plugin architectures later…

Hi there,
I’m from the XWiki dev team. This is something interesting. The http://curriki.org web site is done 100% on XWiki. It’s an e-learning web site and you can author student courses collaboratively with it (it uses the XWiki GWT API for this).
If you’re interested in discussing Blackboard and XWiki integration further it would be nice if you could join us and send a message on the XWiki users mailing list (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists).
Thanks!
-Vincent
Thanks for the nice mention of Confluence!
