The only problem is that you have to register before you can download, that part doesn't sound very open. Either way, looks a whole lot more polished than focus. Centre is looking pretty good too (I made the mistake of getting on the wrong side of that debate before). I'll probably go with centre this year for the school at the Church I go to. Open SIS looks great, but it is still pay-for support. - Just looked... you have to register to get centre as well. Open SIS looks very nice.

I know of a lot of Open Source companies (e.g. OpenERP[Tiny Belguim www.tinyerp.com], OpenCRX [Swiss], Scilab [French]...) who continue to 'give' their software away as open source and still grow and make a lot of money either through support contracts or consultancy! Could also try the following projects: Open Admin for Schools - http://bcsa.richtech.ca/ OpenSIS - http://os4ed.com/opensis I know this one is controversial ... but anyway: Centre SIS - http://www.miller-group.net/ Anthony Hi All,
