Re: [school-discuss] OSS in Education

[Daniel Guermeur <daniel@metadot.com>]

We have been deploying Metadot Portal Server for many schools. They 
find it very useful for dynamic website management, parent 
communication (homework mostly) and online collaboration and content 
management in general. Each user (e.g. teachers) can have his/her own 
website within the portal so they don't need to ask the webmaster to 
add/maintain the content.

Here you can see some implementations:
