I would second Chris's suggestion and would go further, recommending (at least) those with a development background read the archives to date (there's only 25 messages!) to get the technical flavour of the project. For those who are aware of Hobarte, I'm hoping/intending that some of the existing Hobarte solution can be migrated to this (despite language and architecture differences). Regardless, my spare energies will be directed into SchoolTool rather than Hobarte. This project has enormous potential and already has a very solid direction - more people will move it towards a useable solution that much faster.

A topic, which is of interest to me, has been raised on several occasions, namely, the question of a free school administration software package. A project has now been started to produce such a package. It is at the planning stage and has need of volunteers to help define the requirements of the system and assist with the construction of it. I am posting to this list because I am convinced that the most effective way to produce a free software application of this nature is to engage the education community in it's development from the outset. If you would like to become involved please visit this site: http://schooltool.sourceforge.net and subscribe to the mailing list.
