How Moodle is better than Sakai
Well for one thing there's an O'Reilly Moodle book now. Not a full-scale animal book, just a tree, but still, that's pretty impressive.
Charles Kerns from Stanford recently wrote up a list reasons why Moodle is more pedagogically oriented than Sakai. It's hard to extract from what was a long multi-quoted email chain, but I hope he writes it up and puts in [Sakaipedia](http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/ENC) some time. Here's a interesting quote:
"...we have positioned Sakai as an institutional solution; moodle is a teachers' solution."
There's still hope that Moodle and Sakai might work together. Chuck Severance and Jim Farmer from Sakai recently met with Martin Dougiamas, Moodle's tribal chieftain, in Washington D.C. You can watch Chuck's video from the event.
