[seul-edu] Multi-platform Programs! [Was: Consolodated Gradebook]

[Bill Tihen -- TECHNOLOGY <bill@mail.tasis.ch>]

Please choose a multi-platform codebase for as many
programs as possible!  That eases the transistion for
those of us who have to deal with a 100 computers --
some owned by individuals.  The ideal software from a
network perspective is ones that will run on nearly
anything and will communicate over a network to a
central server (That can be linux specific if you need
to).
