RE: [school-discuss] New School and District Administrative Software

["James Smyth" <smyth@northeast.tec.ma.us>]

Firebird was originally Interbase from Borland. They released it open
source and since then have taken it back, however the open source
version has thrived and continued to be developed. I have a link to
there site on my site www.districtdna.com. It is quite powerful check it
out.

Dear James,

This looks _very_ important. Congratulations and good luck on continued
work. I
look forward to seeing what you've got. Firebird ... Hmm. Have to learn
about
that one. I am now using Les Richardson's Open Admin at
http://richtech.ca --
uses mysql. I hope you will consider working with him and he with you.

Again congrats and I look forward to seeing your system.

David
