Re: Joomla as Student Information System (SIS)

Hi -

If you are looking for a student information system, you may want to take a look at Centre. It is open-source, php/postgresql. http://www.miller-group.net/index.php

Centre is not Joomla-based, though their business web site is running Joomla. :)

Re: Advice on how to set up a site for an entire School District

Perhaps take a look at JACLPlus or other Group Access component?  update edit: I had read comments on JACLPlus and was scared away by the comments, and the web site requiring log in, and the extensive modification to the core that would be done.  I may revisit this in future if written pol...

Re: How many people update my Joomla WebSite?

yes...  that argument makes sense, at least on one level, and I suppose if your organization is really big, it is a necessity.  Joomla! will not have that capability until 1.6. I know many disagree with me, and for that reason I agree we need to add this functionality into Joomla!, but at...

How many people update my Joomla WebSite?

Hi -

I am interested in how many people distribute the responsibility for maintaining their Joomla site's content. 

ie, How do you enforce the business rule that a specific editor can only edit a specific section of content?

thanks.
