This is a nice step up from Access/Filemaker while still being intuitive and
easy to use. And open souce!

Howerver, Scott, you've hit on the failure of the whole training industry to
advance to the new economy. Training is still largely a boutique industry,
and has failed to advance meaningfully into cheaper, more accessable online
courses. The problem you identify is quite real, but it's more widespread
and harder to solve than you probably think it is.

Maybe I should talk to OTG ...
