The new release of SchoolTool, that is, 0.11 is out now. This will be the stable branch for this school year. We'll be doing bugfixes, etc. As we switch away from calendaring to work on the other student information system stuff, we'll also revert to putting out developer milestones instead of real releases, since there is no reason to think people will start using, say, our online gradebook, in production in the middle of the year. Hopefully people will poke at it and test it, etc., but these won't really be supported releases. So you should probably just settle on 0.11 for production use. We will be doing a bugfix release in a couple weeks and probably another release when Zope 3.1 is done. At that point we won't have to ship a whole Zope 3 with the .deb packages. Also, Stephan Richter has completely ripped apart the old structure of SchoolTool and SchoolBell and put it back together again in a more rational structure that mirrors the structure of Zope 3 more explicitly. He's working on it here:=20 http://source.schooltool.org/svn/branches/srichter-refactor/schooltool/ This will end up being the basis for the upcoming milestones and a spring release, and I imagine next year's CanDo, but I don't think you should use it this year. --Tom |
