Another project with similar goals would be SchoolTool at http://www.schooltool.org/. What's cool about SchoolTool is that the project director and benefactor (Mark Shuttleworth, the excentric that was the first space tourist) is offering bounties for its development.

.LRN ('DOT-LEARN') CONSORTIUM FORMED

Several universities (including MIT, Heidelberg University, and the
University of Sydney) have gotten together and announced the formation
of the .LRN Consortium, which is dedicated to the development of open
source educational software. More information is available at
http://dotlrn.org/

Just to be clear: this seems to be a consortium to support and promote
a particular suite of open source educational software:

".LRN is an open source application suite for learning and research communities."
