Thanks David, lets chat off the list and I'll get you set up.

Hi, Justin.  Thanks for the answer.  I _thought_ you might be the right guy.  Sorry for not remembering. 


I think I'm in a position to help again right now, so, please let me know if that's not too frightening!  We can work out the who does what together and with anyone else who is interested.  For starters, how do we get John's DART project on?


Best wishes,


David

Hi Dave & all,

I've not been active in maintaining the site for awhile now, and would be happy to help revamp and hand over the reigns to someone that has time to do so.

This is making me wonder.  Who is maintaining the Web site and who is maintaining the mailing list these days?  If that shouldn't be on the list, could someone e-mail me with that information, please?  And, of course, John would like to know how to get his project listed.

Thank you,

David

Tom,

The idea of eBooking would be like that of a "resource booking" or reserving the use of rooms, facilities and equipment?

If so, SchoolTool is an Open Source SIS written in Python that has that ability.

http://schooltool.org/

Tom Hoffman would be the best contact there, I think.

However, a resource booking feature that we have discussed, and which has been requested for the Open Source SIS project I work with called DART (Data Analysis and Reporting Toolkit). It is set up to server entire school districts as well as individual schools.

I've been trying to add the DART project to SchoolForge...but have not gotten an answer to my emails so far. The last time I checked (this morning) we were not on the SchoolForge list of SIS projects.

DART is a PHP/MySQL system under the GNU/GPL license, but not sure what languages you work with or prefer. The latest project code was done with assistance from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) programmers and was just uploaded a few weeks ago.  Missouri State graduate students are currently doing documentation and screencasts for installation and use.

Our group would certainly welcome help in adding that ability as a "module" that could be turned on or off for users of DART, and our project is located here:

https://github.com/dartproject/DART

Updated info about DART, and a link to our demo server:

Regards,

John


With this in mind, I am looking at developing a new eBooking system for
>> school events such as Parents Evening etc and wondered what the interest
would be like (I am a software engineer myself).
I intend on making this freeware but before starting I wanted to know what
the interest was like.
Thanks
