Moodle already has something called "MNET" - Moodle Networking.  
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Network
And, it does work: http://moodle.tcea.org has an MHUB to which many Area Moodles CAN (and have) been mnetted.  Truth in advertising: MHUB content could use more focus on Instructional type courses.  And, it's just waiting for Teachers or Instructional Technology types to contribute.  Given the recent rise in popularity of Moodle, am still wondering what's holding folks up?

With an add-on, MHUB could offer access to learning objects ... translate (in Moodle-ese) that to mean an activity within a section of a course.

Moodle hasn't stopped development in this area either.  Project is looking towards inclusion in Moodle 2.0 (still in development):

Texas and the USA needs to learn from UK:
