For organizations

A research program you can actually run

For schools, clubs, homeschool groups and fair associations that want a repeatable season rather than a rebuilt one.

What an organization receivesFour things

Your own space

An address of your own, your name on it, and your students, projects and records held apart from every other organization.

Programs, not one process

A class, a club, a fair, a grant and a journal are separate programs with their own calendars, deliverables, roles and rules. A person may hold a role in more than one.

Roles that match who does what

Students, student leaders, advisors and editors, each seeing what their role needs and nothing else. A student leader operates under a named adult.

A public record

Completed work publishes to a showcase with stable addresses, stated authorship and citations, readable by anybody without an account.

Two ways to run itBoth supported

Hosted for you

We operate the software. Your organization manages its own programs, its students and its records. This is what a volunteer-run club or fair association needs, because asking its board to become system administrators is not realistic.

Self-hosted

The source is open and licensed from the first commit. An organization with its own infrastructure runs its own copy, holds its own students' data, and keeps operating regardless of what happens to us.

What setting one up involvesDeliberate, not self-serve

Organizations are provisioned by hand rather than by signup form. Your programs, their dates, the roles people hold and the boundary around your data are settled before a single student is invited, because all four are difficult to correct once students are working inside them.

A sensible first step is one program: a single class or a single club season, with your real dates and your real students, while everything else stays where it is. The demonstration is the cheapest way to decide whether that is worth doing.
