Re: [school-discuss] Easy-to-use gradebook software

Honestly if the data was inserted into a MySQL database(or any other Open
Source Database for that Mater) it would allow other applications to easilly
access them thruogh APIs that are already widely used and have bindings in
many different programing enviroments.

The table layout doesn't matter too much as long as its logical and is fast
for lookups.
