Thank a lot Mark for your proposal. 2006/9/7, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
As someone who now has a deep personal interest in the future of SchoolTool (I've sort of bet the farm on it, so to speak ;-), this is wonderful news indeed.
I am not as commited as Jeff on ST but I have also engaged the La Futaie school to use it and I have a strong interest in it.
I'd like to make one further suggestion as to the qualifications of at least one of the programmers: that they be open to actively working to grow the developer community around SchoolTool and to help guide new SchoolTool developers as they develop their skills.
I can only support this suggestion by Jeff. I wanted to have a student of mine who knows python to go on for a paid (not a lot I admit !) developpement around ST and Jeff"s and Paul's work, and Hugo told me he needs some help in going further just to learn how to manage Zope3 developpement.
I say this because as a high school teacher I am actively working to train a group of SchoolTool developers from among the top student developers within our school system. We actually have funds to pay them to work over the summer, to attend sprints, etc.
I hope to be able to go as far as that some day
The ultimate success of this effort will depend in no small part on how effectively these student developers can learn their craft. Stephan Richter was excellent in this regard, and thanks to Paul Carduner's visit to Boston last Thanksgiving to work with Stephan, his level of Zope 3 understanding grew tremendously. He is now in a position to effectively contribute to core SchoolTool development. We need to continue that kind of training if the next generation of SchoolTool developers is to come of age.
definitively, yes. THanks, Nicolas -- Nicolas Pettiaux - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
