OLE Nepal has been working on a a content management system called
pustakalaya at http://www.pustakalaya.org/  At first glance it shows
great promise.  It scales from small enough to run on a school server
to large enough to serve an entire country.  It is based on fedora
commons, which is pretty stable.  On the other hand, it does not have
the upload content features that moodle or ASLO have.
