Hi,

I'm just completing a 1000 word case study on the Skegness Grammar
school FOSS roll out.  It should be on the schoolforge.org.uk site
within a couple of days.  There are some other case studies there.  I
will do a pretty pdf of it.

Have you thrown the Becta research at your bosses?

What is the organisation?  School, college or what?

Can you give more details if this is still a problem?  I have a
recollection of facing this problem before...

rgds,

Richard
