Consider the Blackboard suggestion withdrawn! Moodle does look pretty cool.

eeeeee! For a small, funds-limited new school with no paid technical

that I hear is expensive, not well-documented, and not very
Internetwork-ian: check out their patent issues at

Blackboard once, and discovered the only way to do so is to pay
exorbitant sums for training classes. I don't think this is what Michael
is looking for at all.
Moodle.

Blackboard seems to be something that many schools (K-12 as well as
universities) are using. My kids go to Enloe HS, and they use it
quite a bit there.

interesting screenshot. Click around for the other capabilities.

It looks like my wife and I will be among the parents starting a new
small private school, and I'm trying to figure out what software to
recommend to organize it. Its a real school in the sense there will
be paid teachers, actual classrooms, etc., but without the overhead
of non-teaching positions. I think we need something to help
organize the calendar, volunteer to do lists, mailing lists, lesson
plans, etc., but it has to be something non-technical people can
use, and I certainly don't want to be editing web pages.
Suggestions? Wiki? Some sort of CMS?
Thanks!
