Hi Caroline, Malte,

thanks for the response. pTracker doesn't seem too much overkill. Although we're not running a clinical trial, we are very definitely following a protocol. Also, part of this protocol requires us to prove we're keeping up quality. This could definitely be part of it. Is it available to others?

Contacts do sound more lightweight, and may be more of a match - I'll need to install OACS to see how they work, I guess.

Add to that the room scheduler and I am mostly happy already.

As for the strong authentication, I'll likely need to keep the private data away from the main web application. I'll probably keep that on an isolated server, or some proxy/gateway arangement.

I'll probably need something more complex than simple ratings, but it may be a good start.

Overall, I'll install OpenACS and see for myself what it can do for us.

Thanks,

- Pascal.
