RE: [seul-edu] Consolidated gradebook effort

["Culp, David" <CulpD@cfbisd.edu>]

I have been following this thread but really have not had time to reply.  My
project Kteacher has been updated, I just have not had time to get it on to
the web site yet.  However, work on it has slowed to a crawl.  I was hoping
to be done with it at this point, but life gets in the way of hacking.  So,
I would really like to join an effort to make a consolidated gradebook.  As
was stated before it would be better to have one completed gradebook then a
bunch of uncompleted projects.

	Have you looked at Zope? (http://www.zope.org/) There's a new
special
	interest group that has formed to discuss and design Zope products
for use
	in education. You can read a bit more at http://www.zschool.org/ The
group
	is pretty young so there aren't any actual products yet. We're still
in
	the formative stages.

	Quick summary: Zope is an application server (actually "object
publisher")
	built mostly from Python and integrates very well with SQL
databases. The
	system is cross-platform running on everything from NT, Unix, and
even
	BeOS. It's definitely worth a look. I think you'll find that it
compares
	very favorably with PHP.
