Hi everyone,
It seems that the University of Innsbruck is doing something relatively similar to dotLRN called XIMS. Below is the language from the index page.
Something to keep an eye on i guess...

XIMS - The eXtensible Information Management System
The XIMS Project aims to develop a web-based eXtensible Information Management System, built to especially suit the needs of academic and educational infrastructures.
XIMS is a Information/Content Management System that in its current implementation primarily provides facilities to create and manage web sites. With XIMS it is possible to make use of a flexible recursive role and ACL system for securing content. Using "Department Root" Containers its possible to inherit organizational-unit-wide properties like stylesheet-, or navigation-settings for example. For details about XIMS concepts and planned features visit the XIMS Whitepaper Working Draft.
Because the XIMS User Interface and all XIMS content is XML based its proximate to use an XML Application Server for serving published content. Using AxKit it is possible to serve the XML content in various output formats based on fine-grained transformation settings.
