Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

WERA (WEb ARchive Access) is an archive viewer application that gives an Internet Archive Wayback Machine-like access to web archive collections as well as the possibility to do full text search and easy navigation between different versions of a web page.

From the website:

Featuring a high level of automation, advanced monitoring capabilities, and flexible processing options, it's the ideal solution for university-wide lecture capture, publication and management. For lecturers, the unobtrusive operation of Lectopia makes it a highly appealing learning technology. For students, 24/7 access to recordings means greater access to lecture materials for revision and concept review.

Good quick description of serverless backup.  From the website:

Serverless backup over SANs requires three major components:

• The backup application itself
• The Extended SCSI Copy Command standard
• A protocol-aware, intelligent SAN appliance that can recognize protocols from many heterogeneous systems and transmit data at high speeds to the tape and DLT libraries.

With serverless backup, the data flows across the SAN directly from the disk drive to the tape device, with no data moving through the server. The enterprise servers only need to host the backup application, and the backup application determines what needs to be backed up and sends the command to a "copy agent" embedded in an intelligent SAN appliance. The intelligent SAN appliance detects the source and destination parameters, retrieves the data from the storage devices, writes it to the tape or DLT libraries, and reports completion (or status) back to the backup application.

Apple's open source streaming media server.  Provides mpeg-4, 3gpp, and quicktime formats.  Can be built and run on Mac OSX, Redhat Linux, Solaris 9, and Win2003 servers.

Resources for consideration of media servers.

We'd need the Helix server, Helix proxy, and Helix DRM.  This would let us design a full blown service.  We should base it on Windows servers and connect to a large, fast disk array.  For now, a single scale system would be fine with, say, 25 streams.
