This is the first time I've actually seen specifications for what a grade
book is supposed to do.  Most of the discussion I've seen on the list
centers around databases and web servers.  

Is there some analysis documentation anywhere?  Are there a set of
reasonably canonical use cases that describe a good grade book application?
Is there a commercial grade book application that has enough online user
documentation to serve as a feature set to be emulated by a consolidated
open source application?

Thanks,
Bob
