[seul-edu] New educational app--website maintenance

From the website:

ClassWeb lets instructors easily create and control a class website
without learning HTML, FTP or getting a UNIX account.  Instructors
just need a standard web browser and a username and password to
administer their class sites.  Instructors teaching in your
building, across campus, or even overseas can all get to their
sites, change them, and update materials the same way.

    The main advantage of ClassWeb is that it offers an easy, low or
no training route for faculty to administer a website.  And because
ClassWeb is open source, administrators and staff programmers have
extraordinary control.   Once you install and customize ClassWeb for
your environment, you can change its component programs and "look"
as much or as little as you want.  For us, this has meant that our
History Dept ClassWeb pages look very different than the rest of our
depts, even though they're all using ClassWeb and the administration
tools are the same.
