Adam:
I LOVE PMwiki, too, but for a school application and environment, have you considered Moodle (www.moodle.org )? It's open-source FREE secure software written in PHP using a MySQL database. I've found it fairly easy to install and administer on a typical shared hosting account. Moodle is already tailor-made for education with schools, courses, teachers, administrators, students (roles), passwords, registration, enrollment, secure file uploading, blogs, wikis, chat, lessons, glossaries, etc., etc. already implemented. Moodle has a large user base with good documentation and very helpful forums. Good luck and best wishes whatever your choice.

I've been using pmwiki for neighorhood and alumni groups. It's going to be more challenging to do the school because teachers would like to have their own password-protected pages for posting assignments (not grades because there is a separate system for that). The principal also would love to add notes now and then like a blog. I can see this being all possible, but I'd like to hear from others who have created school sites and associated issues. Thank you and I look forward to your response. Adam
