Draft using Template:Technology Project Proposal

Wikisoba is a working title for a project to create a "lite" version of Moodle.

Objective

A course management system that is free software and better adapted to small and medium-sized institutions involved in education and training.

Goals

A fork of Moodle that reverses its tendency to feature creep, and integrates features available in MediaWiki.

Resources

At least one year of developer time/£100K. Would require strategic alliances to cover a high proportion of the cost.

Constraints

Avoid trademark infringement.

Outcomes

Reduced hosting and maintenance costs for the VLE.

Risks

Inadequate management of software development. Lack of a way forward to develop the software further.
