This Tweet from Sarah came across my screen yesterday:
So here you go…a list of plug-ins we have running here on our WordPress MU 2.6.3 install. Please note that this site has been created for teachers to communicate with parents. As of now that is its function within a larger picture of a learning/communication portal we are creating here.
This is a list of installed plugins so far. If you have others that you feel are must haves please leave a comment as I’m always looking for ways to make this a better platform for teachers.

Wow this looks great Jeff. Very ambitious. Is this set up currently up and running, or is it a concept you are currently working on? If its up and running, what kinds of issues and problems have you encountered?
Not s concept, an actual running site. WordPress MU is very stable and well supported. With these plugins teachers find it easy to publish information to parents. We’re just getting started so hopefully there will be some blogs up and running soon.

Jeff,
How are you doing the SSO from PowerSchool?
This is exactly what we are trying to setup for next year -
Moodle, wikispaces, blogs, PS, mahara.
