I don't think so. The google ads require java. I think there's some other stuff that uses it too, why? No, I must admit I've never heard of moodle until you mentioned it. The platform we used was created in house. First one used Lotus Notes, which was a horrible mess. My first job at that company was to transfer everything by hand out of Lotus Notes website, by hand, because there was no way of exporting it regularly. Then we had a 2nd custom platform which was much better. Had a tonne of features, like forum integration, dictionary, and more. (and was made in PHP/SQL) I don't quite get why moogle would be good, perhaps it's just their own site that puts me off, (even though it's a wiki!) | ||

Just wondering whether a server side or client side solution would be appropriate with TL for determining the client browser/OS for font rendering. I've recently had to do OS sniffing to deal with anti-aliasing fonts that contain Arabic glyphs but the code is closed source. Do you know of an open source solution that you would consider using on TL? The only reason I really asked about moodle is a bit of an inside joke but I wanted to know if it was widely considered as useable and therefore as adopted as it is within elearning in the UK. | ||

It's a good font for reading on the web, but it's not good looking at all. Right now I'm having a small crush on open sans. This blog makes me feel bad for only using helvetica everywhere -.- | ||

But good to know nonetheless Perhaps I came too late to TL, but I rarely see him post comments wherever I am on the site. He is like the mysterious high post-count user you've barely seen. To me at least. | ||
