If Funnymonkey joins schoolforge.net, then you won't be spamming, but announcing.

Hello, David,

We are developing this now. Building the functionality we want (and making it easy to use/not look like Drupal) takes both time and testing.

We are an open source shop; everything we do will be freely available. We are developing this on our time, at our expense, so there are times when this work takes a back seat to client work.

But, we are also scheduling time to work on this, and are looking to get an alpha release out by mid-March.

I don't want to spam the list, but if people are okay with it, I'd be glad to announce here when we have a release ready. And, if there are any developers that want to pitch in here, please contact me off list :)

Cheers,

Bill

RE: Not another learning curve...

It will be the prettiest, easiest Drupal site you have ever seen. You won't even know it's Drupal :)

I swear.

Cheers,

Bill

We are in the midst of building an open source platform to allow for the authoring, remixing, and redistributing of open content.

Looking good...

We are basing this on Drupal,

Not another learning curve...
