PLENKs in #CCK11

This post by LarsWas (with further discussion here) is a good intro to the topic of Week6 (which seems to be a re-cap of #PLENK2010).

I agree with the view that, as used now, gRSShopper is hardly less centralized than Moodle. It has benefits in some areas but what it does by way of aggregation could mostly be added to Moodle and there are definitely other areas in which it is less polished as well (or at least where some people may prefer Moodle’s design choices). But I do believe that the functionality that Stephen demonstrates with gRSShopper is something that would be useful for many of us. In fact I have tried to install it myself but had trouble getting all the necessary PERL pieces in place. Perhaps a php version would be easier to install in most web hosting environments (and would also then be more compatible with both Moodle and WordPress).
