Erm, this is a SCHOOL!

If they've got an even remotely competent IT Teacher
Ha, nice one. See previous discussions. :) Plus, primary schools don't
have IT teachers, they have class teachers (who might have a
specialism, normally Early Years, occasionally in IT).
then he/she could
presumably create an appliocation allowing the admin staff to enter the data
in a generic form and it to then be rendered both in HTML and PDF format.
Surely?!?!
But why? PDF works fine for most people, without factoring in the
effort required and the fact that teachers generally don't have time
to mess around writing applications (even if they could).
And if they put their minds to it Westfield School could ring up Preston
school and say "fancy our app?" and work together... might even get Yeovil
College to chip in...
It's a good idea, but someone needs to be able to do it.
Surely SCHOOL websites should "showcase" the calibre of the teaching - not
send kids out into the world joking about "how naff" their school site is?

There aren't many who can - and as an OSS community instead of
bitching about it why not make it happen? Approach schools with
applications and expertise and get the websites sorted out? This was
already raised in another discussion about BBC Click - and this is
another service the LOCO could provide.

i agree, which is one of the things i said earlier, we need to get in
and try and help, I work in schools so try and help if /. when I can.
