Drupal is an open source content management system (cms), with perhaps a lot of potential for distributed communites, online learning and knowlege management. The underlying design appears to be extremely flexibile and modular but there is a certain learning curve involved in installation, setup, configuration, administration and maintenance.
If you’re interested in travelling along that curve together with a few others, then head over to the DAR drupal site, register for a login and start to explore the basic installation which is there.
There’s also a page about this drupal learning project on the DAR wiki.
