Hi.  I've been quiet again for a while.  My son had surgery to repair a
cleft palate last week so I was incommunicado for a while.

I'm the author of K12Admin (http://k12admin.cmsd.bc.ca/) which purports to
be a package for managing staff and student accounts, administering school
linux servers, and lately I've even added some slightly more educational
modules: a Reading List, a Story Book (where students can enter their own
original stories), a Homework database, and a Student Behaviour database.

I was thinking of renaming K12Admin, since I now know that K12 is very
US-Canada centric, and I've grown a little past "Admin" as well.  I was
thinking of incorporating the name of a mountain in my backyard.  European
name is RocherdeBoule (roughly Falling Rocks, which may not be a great
connotation).  The First Nations people here call the mountain Stekyoden.
Anyway, this is beside the point.  I'm interested in being involved in any
discussion regarding development of a Comprehensive Student Management
System.

K12Admin is written mainly in Perl, although I'm not averse to working in
other programming languages.  My user interface capabilities are probably
less than ideal (I think I can claim browser forms as a bit of a handicap
here, though). 

Anyhow, I'm eager to see where this goes!

Steve.
