| Get Involved |
|
Whiteboard is at a critical stage in its development. Especially if you have first-hand experience with educational courseware in an administrative, teaching, or student capacity, or if you just like the idea of creating a viable open-source alternative in what is a predominately closed-source area of software, get involved and help plan (and write) the future of this project. Useful qualities include general knowledge of educational courseware and its usage; and skills in PHP programming, MySQL and other databases, graphics and web design, documentation, and project planning and management.
