SchoolTool

SchoolTool is a project to create an open-source school administrative software package.

Our vision is for a common information systems platform for school administration from Cambridge to Calcutta, via Cape Town! We hope to provide a single tool that will be readily adapted to the specific regulatory requirements and practices of different countries and regions, but that retains enough common functionality to make a shared development effort worthwhile. The SchoolTool will be freely available under an Open Source licence, and commercial editions with additional functionality might also be available if 3rd party developers wish to build commercial products on top of the universal platform.

They're building it in python, too. Cool.
