Sakai Project (Score 2, Interesting)

OK, so we've already had Moodle posted as another success story of Opensource in Education, so it's only right that the Sakai Project gets a mention as another big winner. Not only is it used widely in Higher Education, it is gaining admiration and suport from the commercial sector, as Thomson's adoption of the opensource collaboration and learning environment goes to show. From the recent press release:

Thomson Learning will work closely with the Sakai team and other commercial affiliates, including Unicon, to continue the overall effort to keep the open source models vibrant. The commitment to provide ongoing contributions to the Sakai Foundation in a number of methods, including software contributions and open standards support, is essential to this partnership.
