      <description>Interesting article. Software for school management has thus far been dominated by Moodle, and other similar systems. Nice to see an alternative.

What about its security? How secure is this?

Cheers,

      <description>Spiral Universe is a horrendous company.&amp;nbsp; It is some of the worst software out there, and would be a serious waste of time and/or money for anyone to ever even attempt to use it.&amp;nbsp; Terrible.&amp;nbsp; GWT may make things look nice, but can&#8217;t make a pile of @#%@ into a real application.</description>

After 3 hours of use of this desktop, your browser (firefox, netscape) will use 2Go of Ram. Else write somewhere that it&#8217;s only for IE.</description>

      <description>Google will not want to run a whole school administration system if it
only wants the data. Google health (as far as I know/remember) is only
a repository of our health records. It wont really do anything
regarding our treatment or insurance.

It may only be interested in a tie up with spiral, so that it can get the
data, not in getting into running schools.</description>

      <description>Google loves web apps of all kinds, and information of any sort, especially detailed information that is verifiably accurate (such as school course details). In the vein of Google Health, which is a portal for health records and information, a Google Schools or Google Education service would be a great way to get tons of data. Spiral is a great candidate for an already existing codebase using Google technologies to form the core of such a service.</description>

      <description>This app looks great! Extending ext components to enforce a look or behavior is a great idea that we have applied in some cases here!

I&#8217;ll second the request for rtl support. We currently load a css override file when users are logged in using an rtl language. That file basically flips most right/left css directives. Also, when creating layouts, we have to specify east/west based on the current direction. It&#8217;d be much nicer to just say start/end or something like that.</description>
