Fox SIS
Due to the overwhelming response to another post, I have taken it upon myself to start up an Open Source Student Information System project. Fox-SIS will be a fork of a once-popular open source student information system.
I will need other people to help. In particular, I need a Graphic Designer (you don’t have to be very good, we just need a replacement logo), PHP coders of any skill level and people who could help with the documentation. Please use the comment form to express interest in participation. I will not display any comments such as these on the page, but will respond to them personally. Other comments will be displayed as normal.
The new website is www.fox-sis.com but it doesn’t have much content on it as of now. If you express interest in participating, please use the register link on fox-sis.com to create an account. I will give you permissions when I hear from you using a comment on here.
The main goal of fox-sis is to continue the old project with the old spirit of openness and community involvement without stepping on anybody’s toes. That’s why it will be especially important to respect the trademarks of others and the terms of the GPL. There have been a lot of forks of this system out there (and the system it is forked from), but my aim with this is not to make a profit, but rather just to help everyone out there who just wants things back to the way they used to be.

Does Fox SIS integrate with Moodle?
We have been using Focus-SIS which I like very much, but it’s been very difficult to get any support from Andrew or Jordan to get our program functioning properly

It did integrate with moodle, but that is something that was never released in the oss version.
Of course it is difficult, they want people using the pay-for version, not the open source one.
