update please

[Carl Parrish]

Modules needed.
Okay trying to think of this quickly Brian could you fill any I've 
missed. Or give more details on any of this?

Well we know we need some sort of id mod. I'd think that a login would 
be the easiest and so far I've thought of three roles needed.
- Student
- Teacher
- Admin
Will need a CM mod to enter and edit the tests / courseware.
Report generator
Registration mod for adding new logins (suggest a way to do bulk 
registration).
Creating the DB
Designing the GUI

That's the task break down the way I see it now. My suggestions would be 
that we just throw a PHP tool together with MySQL on the back end. That 
would be the fastest way with the thought that we're going to have to 
redo it so that we can use mulitlpe GUIs later. I think we should use 
SAX and XML for the content (not in the first iteration). it will give 
us more flexiblity.  Templates on the web GUI will make it easier for 
more schools to use it. If we are going to use the login format we need 
a way to look up lost passwds. But I think we only need the five teams I 
already talked about to start and get something useful out the door. I'd 
like to do it in Python (since I'm trying to learn it better). and since 
XMLDOM is too slow for this we need a SAX parser only all of my 
favorites are Java so does anyone know of a C++ or Python SAX parser?
