Yea I'm sure, between thier edu costumers are UoH TAU BIU IUCC HUJI CET and mofet also serveral banks and big companies uses this system already, that preety much every big universaty in israel beside the technion and huji haifa and tau seems to share resources on trying to make it work. > there local Israeli people that are trying to push it forward?

How much money is required, if It's an israeli company called britannica (www.britannica-ks.com). It's seems that now it's aimed to cooperate(with bareket) and to universaties/collages with high learning I guess then it's only a matter of time before entering schools if it's successful *shrug* > at all, to get such a system running?

The official view is that it suppose to work only on ie 5.5+ so say the support page, I sent a few letters to the support there and it seems that fixing it to work on other browsers is not on their side. > Maybe the issue should be brought to the public attention?

I think that a bad idea, even beside concidering the fact I'm employ at huji and wish to stay that way. I think starting with more peacefull solutions, are there other people who learn at universaty and need to use this system? > Be aware that huji may consider the publication undesirable and since > it is your employer you will have to think about it.

But on the other hand, maybe not? I still don't understand what the media got to do with anything..
