[digg=http://digg.com/programming/Dokeos_Drupal_link_in_the_making] I had an interesting talk with Marco Antonio Villegas Vega the morning of 19th April 2008 about a possible link between Drupal and Dokeos in the medium-term future (a few months).

For example, you will be able to add an age (or better, a date of birth), a sex, a mother tongue, etc. Whatever you want, basically. Once these fields are setup and filled, you will be able to limit the statistic results to only a subset of users (i.e.

Dokeos is now entering the world of large medical and pharmaceutical companies. We are glad to finally getting to this step in our software evolution.
