[Lias] Something interesting from MIT :)

MIT's OpenCourseWare:
a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self-learners around the world.

For other institutions considering implementing their own "opencourseware" 
there are several open-source CMS options. At this point, MIT OCW is 
monitoring six: Zope, Red Hat, Midgard, OpenACS, OpenCMS, and Bricolage. 
By 2004, most experts agree that one CMS provider will become the clear, 
open-source leader in this industry sector. MIT OCW will track the 
progress of key open-source CMS providers during this accelerated maturation. 
This will contribute to MIT being able to share its experience and 
understanding of these CMS options with other institutions. 
The hope is that utilization of open-source model CMS products could lead 
to less expensive implementations of opencoursewares on other campuses.
