[Bodington-developers] 'Prior art' dates

[Paul T. <pau...@ou...>]

Hi All,

Am appending a couple of notes from Richard Treves from Southampton 
University re establishing 'prior art' in response to the Blackboard 
patent.  Jon/Aggie, it would be good if you could provide some dates for 
the bodington.org site (history page at: 
http://bodington.org/history.php) and the online learning history wiki 
(http://docs.moodle.org/en/Online_Learning_History) at Moodle ?

Incidentally, can anyone read Icelandic?

Regards,

Paul

Hi, I\'m into Moodle, With the recent publishing of the Blackboard 
patent its apparent we need to gather information of \'prior art\' in 
order to defend ourselves against legal action (outside of the UK at 
this point, but the law may change in the future). Boddington predates 
the patent, your published history of Boddington is very useful in this 
regard but would be more so if someone could add some dates, I imagine 
this would be useful to you and us.

Thanks for your consideration

Rich

The thread over at moodle.org is here

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=50597

and there is a wiki collecting online history, I've added Bodington (one 
d!) but didn't want to expand as I didn't have the dates
