Sounds like an excellent project. I can't think of a better application for
Free Software, not only in the interest of saving the taxpayers money but for
the potential educational value of something that can be built upon by the
young hackers of the future.
Speaking of education, a friend of mine says that this "No child left behind"
law is supposed to be a big boon to software people, as much of the money
allocated by the Feds will be eaten up with programming efforts to fund the
government's voracious appetite for reports on everything the schools do.
Open source could provide the schools a bit of relief on that, particularly
if it can be well-integrated with their existing systems (probably MS.) I
was going to investigate this further before posting (it bugs me when people
say "we should look into this" while taking no initiative themselves) but I
am suddenly swamped. So I put this thought forward for someone who's in
need of project ideas.
