You mention students, so I will assume you are at a school. Any school that i can think of has computers, a network and an internet connection. With a reasonable Computer Science Department, most of those costs should be covered by them. > > We will need to cover, some minor implementation costs such as a monthly > service provider, > an implementation cost for 4 developers/programmers, and an on call cost for > computer science students to > do weekly or monthly maintainence. The CS Dept. may make the implementation of the system an indepenant research project or something to allow you class credit or 'extra credit'. And it may provide a means of students to get 'extra credit' by doing maintaiance. > > Please reply back with a short description of the type of system you have > used, created, or designed using Debian/GNU Linux. > We are very interested to hear what other sytems have been successful. I'm not sure why this would matter. You problem is a solved problem, so no one need to be Donald Knuth to make a suggestion as your not creating something that needs scalability like ebay.
