[Year 12 IPM] OT: on-line parent teacher booking systems

[sav]

It would be very simple to create a web-based screen with FileMaker Pro
(I remember FM used to come with a booking sheet template) or fun to write 
something in PHP. It would not need to access a SQL database,
ASCII text files would be sufficient for a low tech solution.
