Re: [Rapla-developers] Availability

[Mariano <ma...@li...>]

I have to say, this is the best program I've seen for this.
I'm surprised noone has done the whole Private lesson - music classroom
thing.
There are so many little schools that do this on paper or with Outlook - not
a fan - Rapla seems to have most of the capability already there.

Thanks.
I'll let you know if I get stuck!

Oh - One more question.
Any plans on making a module for PostNuke?
This way you can take the students and instructors from that user db?

the calendar.  So if I need to see if an instructor is available I only have
to look at the calendar.
