Programming classes LMS

Hello,

for some time I've been developing a LMS for programming
classes at university I'm attending. Currently, neither the
LMS
or it's source code are available, but I'm writing here to
see the interest in something like that. I would very much
appreciate
all the feedback and perhaps even help in development.

LMS is written in php (ouch!), and although it really isn't
functional right now, it is built on the concept that users
may upload solved assignments, tag their assignments,
others may comments on those assignments, and perhaps
even put it into their favorites. There is also very simple
themes
system, and a password changing utility. Currently
registration
of users doesn't exist, so I'm playing only with demo user

Concept of principal, teachers and students is integrated
in the backend, but there isn't actually nothing to take use
of
it right now. Permission system still has to be thought of.
Anyway, I think this is enough for a first mail.

Opinions are welcome  And
ofcourse help ;)

Kind regards,
Mario

I guess my first question is, what does your LMS have to
offer which would
make someone choose it over, say Moodle or Claroline?

unesco.org/cgi-bin/webworld/portal_freesoftware/cgi/page.cgi
?g=Software%2FCourseware_Tools

Not that I doubt your system's potential, it's just that
when others have
reached critical mass with full-time, paid developers, and a
large
community, etc., any new entrant will need to have something
that makes
them different and makes people prefer it substantially over
those others.
Otherwise the best use of effort might be to contribute to
furthering one
of those other projects rather than reinventing them.
