Derek Morrison recently started an interesting discussion in  Auricle responding to a  major deployment ("world's largest) of Moodle in New Zealand.  Morrison cautions "An open source monoculture is still a monoculture and monocultures tend to get monotonous and prone to disease." Richard Treves offers substantial rebuttal to Morrison, which prompted a second round of discussion about the "monoculture" issue. The conversation also continues in the Moodle forum (login as guest). It's an interesting set of discussions that merit the attention of the liberal arts community as we try to figure out the ramifications of open source.
