Okay, I might have misunderstood this (German) blog entry:
http://dialoge.info/b2/index.php/die-entwicklung-der-lernplattform-fronter

It refers to a statement from Vienna University:
http://intern.newsletter.univie.ac.at/interner-newsletter-neu/mai-2011/

There, only the development of their fronter platform is said to be
discontinued. So, excuse me if I took Chinese Whispers for real.

Well, we need a room booking system, and our supporter claims they
can do this wihtin fronter. I doubt that fronter is written in PHP...
