Aiken started work on MOSS in 1994 and made it available to colleagues in 1997. Since then, it s been used by programming instructors around the world. It has about 1,000 accounts worldwide. Even though it s several years old and isn t being upgraded anymore, it continues to win fans. I think it has supplanted all other systems that were in use.
MOSS is the only Web-based service.
Aiken gets cagey when asked if MOSS has uses beyond the university. I ve been approached about that several times. Inc. All rights reserved.
