I'm surprised there is no mention in the article, nor in any of the comments, of another alternative:
<a href="http://www.loncapa.org/" title="loncapa.org">LON-CAPA</a loncapa.org>. LON-CAPA is also entirely open source, GPL, has a huge set of <a href="http://www.loncapa.org/features.html" title="loncapa.org">features</a loncapa.org>, and growing network of content. It's being developed primarily at Michigan State University, by people with long experience using and developing course content management software.
It <a href="http://www.edutools.info/course/compare/compare.jsp?product=255,234" title="edutools.info">compares favorably to moodle</a edutools.info>.
I've used LON-CAPA (and its predecessor, CAPA) while teaching mathematics and physics courses, where its support of sophisticated homework and exam problems really shines.
another alternative: LON-CAPA
