I was pretty easy to set up, and definitely easy to add new features.
The issue, as Jerald pointed out, is creating content. That part we
left in the hands of the program. So we basically gave them a fully
functional moodle install, but it was left up to them to actually use
it. There are alot of pre-made content modules, but I am not sure if
they used any. They are pretty nice people. If you send them an email
they will probably let you know how things are going. I would assume
it is not in full use just yet, but I dont know.
