Hi Tom,

Congratulations on the new release of schooltool.
I am still using Cando though because of its unique features.
I just wanted to know, I'm still building off the competency branch, is this
still active, or is there a new source I should use to get Cando?

regards
dudley

Hm... here's my understanding.  I think 'competency-refactoring-6'
will remain the production branch that runs with pre-beta SchoolTool.
Some substantial changes have to be made to CanDo to work with
post-beta SchoolTool, because there has been a fairly substantial
rearrangement to make SchoolTool understand school years.

So presumably a new branch will be made for that.

I am hoping that the work from competency refactor to SchoolYears will
go into trunk.  It's now 14 months since CanDo merged to trunk.

Well, hasn't the refactor branch become the de facto trunk?  Also, is anyone
in charge of this?
