Berkleemusic.com is currently in a live beta test period with our formal launch date scheduled for mid-January '03. At present we are focused on testing and improving the Berkleemusic web site, building a viable business and making our customers happy. This is taking up the vast majority of our development time and is the directive given to us by the college leadership.
Regarding the LMS that we are developing, our goal is to provide a solid foundation to ensure the success of the LMS as a platform. While the Berklee LMS code does not require .LRN, .LRN interoperability and integration will be feasible.
It is not an option for us to open our CVS directly to others, as the code base includes a customized ecommerce system and business logic proprietary to the college. Given the intensity of ongoing development, it's unclear when or if we will be able to properly clean up and release a useful Berklee LMS module, or what that release would even look like.
We realize that this situation may be frustrating for certain members of the OACS community. If you have an immediate need for an LMS, you would do best to pursue other options. That said, we have written OACS modules including an Asset Manager and XML Content Manager, upon which the LMS and Berkleemusic.com depend that we hope will be of general use that we plan to contribute in a much shorter timeline.
