The specific usage scenario I envision is to allow schools that follow similiar philosophies[basically following an open source model to organizing and running the school, where students are part of the process not passive receivers of the process. Two example of this would be the Brooklyn Free School, http://www.brooklynfreeschool.org/ and my childrens school, the Hudson Valley Sudbury School, http://www.hudsonvalleyschool.org/] to share information and discuss issues at both the student level and at the staff and assembly level.
I built something like this for PBS in the early 90s. It was called Learning Link and it was a software network of 70+ PBS stations and schools. What I did was leverage Usenet and INN by creating a hierarchy of private local and regional newsgroups that a site could subscribe to.
