We are currently working on the development (or co-development, as a base was made available to us by the Akelos team itself) of a plugin to Akelos that fixes the current problems of language variables duplication, deprecation and need for a manual edition of the files.

Sakai tricky to install from normal Linux distribution
We have a student working for us on comparisons between various LMSes here, and we recently moved on to Sakai. We've been looking a bit at installing it on an Ubuntu 9.04 and boy... is this a challenge.
While there seems to be a few sources of documentation around the web (including on the Sakai website itself) on how to install it, they're all giving a 20 pages-long guide on how to install a specific version of Java (from sources), a specific version of Tomcat (from sources) and a specific version of Sakai (from sources as well).

To be a startup, a company has to be a product business, not a service business. By which I mean not that it has to make something physical, but that it has to have one thing it sells to many people, rather than doing custom work for individual clients. Custom work doesn't scale.
cPanel, Fantastico, GNUPanel, cPAddOn, etc
I've been investigating a little bit about cPanel and Fantastico. I first thought they were open-source. They're not. Then I thought it would be easy to develop scripts to manage my own open-source web application. It's not possible because of the license.
