On Tuesday, I will be attempting to push the infrastructure needed to
get my town's local high school to be able to use Habari for its new

actually be coming over on Tuesday to see what I have done. I have a
goal however, to get this possibly implemented as the web site system
for every school on our board.
That would be neat. I'm interested to hear what you've cooked up and
how the presentation goes.
On a related note, how flexible/mature is the multi-site system on
Habari?
I won't lie: The multisite config has been better in the past and its
importance has slipped perhaps simply due to a lack of personal interest
from any developer. This isn't for lack of wanting to make it great,
just that the focus in recent development has been oriented more toward
adding features that are important to single-install users.
This is not to say that multi-site Habari doesn't work. Actually,
multi-site under different domains/sub-domains works just fine.
Sub-directory support (where you have a site at / and a different site
at /foo) doesn't work as well as we'd like.
A brief review of the wiki page that describes the multisite
functionality of Habari leaves me thinking that it perhaps shouldn't
work the way it's described. The fallback from directories to domains
seems to me to be a bit overly-complicated, as defined:
http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Multisite
But multisite is on the roadmap to be improved in 0.8, so as soon as the
0.7 changes are released, multisite will get attention, and the users
that make use of this feature can help shape it in a useful direction.
