Kai, I have a set of goals for these. 1) get them to install with a Q&A routine from an RPM. this will help make them more accessable to to people that don't know any command line. 2) get them to share an LDAP directory , This is necessary to reduce data redundancy and inaccuracy, it would also bypass the need for a SIF (student information frameworks) agent which is soon to be a requirement in the states,( I think there is a similar requirement growing in the UK, possibly in the EU as well all though I don't follow there EDU regs.) 3) blend them together into one interface. To create a Hybrid that would include the setup from the "Open School Server" , this last goal would set the stage for a commercial version that both Novell and the good folks at Extis.de could support.
