There are many advantages of e-learning.

We are currently approaching the 1.9 release of Chamilo. In the inner circles, it will be called 1.9.0 as it will be followed by one or two other bugfix releases. During the past years, we started getting into details of 1.8.7.1, 1.8.8.4 etc. In my view, this was a bad decision.

There's been much talk over the last years about Chamilo 1 and 2, whether they were the same product, whether we were going to merge, etc. Last month's General Assembly of the Chamilo Association (which also made me the happy president of the association) helped us clarify a common line of conduct which, I am sure, most will appreciate. If you're in a hurry, you'd better move directly to the end of this article ("Conclusion"), because I want to drive you through the history of both projects now to give you a complete understanding of both pieces of software.

Quite easy to start Chamilo Rapid on your own computer with OpenOffice.org v3 installed:

soffice -nologo -nofirststartwizard -headless -norestore -invisible "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;"

Then just go into your portal admin page and configure the Chamilo Rapid as localhost on port 2002 and save.

It's been my privilege and pleasure to work in the e-learning field for the last 7 year. Somehow, having a teacher as a mother and a computer scientist as a father, it was kind of a natural outcome that I'd be an e-learning specialist.
