User Feedback :: Soon to be in production environment

I am on the local Board of Ed here in NJ and our district has technology and money issues (who doesn't?). I setup a HD install of DSL on an old PC in my house and then installed Zope/Plone and exposed it to the internet so my superintendent and administrator could take a look. They seem to see the value in not paying $10s of thousands of my tax dollars for "a website" when they can get document/content management that doubles as a website for essentially nothing. Thanks DSL.

Hello a_hardwick, I am particularly interested in how DSL is being used in the public sector/Education. I would be grateful if you can email me with details about what you are doing. Thanks!

Would you care to share the information as I would like to see how it performs over the internet.

I found this on slashdot about Sun star office/java in canadian schools..
This would be a great program for DSL as well, since OO runs so well on it..

Ke4,

I saw that item too and have been talking to them about replacing MS stuff with OSS. We had a meeting last night and were presented with a "Technology plan" for the district that is seriously wanting (I had no input) and makes no mention of security or costs. We (the BOE) are making them (the Administration) fix it. When we make progress, I will post more detail.
