Hi Rick,Thanks for your response, we built a national education project  with SchoolTool and other Open sourced software (KA-lite, rapidSMS, etc) to solve the data availability, visibility, and accessibility problems and just layered the infrastructure with learning contents for school community using KA-lite, we did not establish developers base but was hoping that we could do that when the project has approval for scale up, however, other difficulties has prolonged the process of mainstreaming the project, which we hope would be overcome soon.
Good thinking exposing the code on github etc, let's hope we will get some good people taking over the maintenance, before we get project sponsors ready to pay for continuous code maintenance. 

Regards!David

 Hi David,

We are in the same situation. I am not a Zope developer. I have basic
programming skills, though not enough to lead a project like SchoolTool.
We installed SchoolTool at our K-8 school, and I was hoping to deploy it
with the "next big release", which of course hasn't happened.

I really like SchoolTool and I'd like it to continue. Personally I am
more comfortable with git/Github than bzr/Launchpad. My idea is that a
Github migration would expose the codebase to more Python/Zope
developers and raise awareness of the opportunities.
