Nothing yet, but will do as soon as I have something to share. Will be in
French though.

Here's their site:

For those who read French, here is an evaluation of a recent version:
http://www.ulb.ac.be/ulb/cte/docs/EvalClaroline17.pdf

Generally, it has the reputation of being very easy to use for
instructors, but being a bit less feature complete than moodle.

I have never worked with either, so I have no personal preferences, but
have been "shopping" around lately and moodle and claroline seem to come
out as the most interesting candidates. But if OSGEO sticks with moodle,
I'll just follow the lead.
