Isn't JIRA already using some Apache Ofbiz (pretty fullish ERP + e-commerce platform) components? That would be going pretty much full circle.

But there isn't a problem to solve for this community, because bullying isn't actually seen/acknowledged as a problem. Education officials are also only paying lip service and even that only after some very horrible case hits

It wasn't a subtle accusation, because in my experience people who say school violence doesn't happen or they never saw it happen are/were actually bullies themselves. This post just confirmed it with the nice twisting of wor

A school with "no violence or rape" wouldn't be just nothing wrong, it would be extraordinary. Even elite schools in developed and rich countries are filled with bullying: http://www.theguardian.com/world&#x2F

The hassle of job seeking can actually be a pretty good motivator for entrepreneurship. Why would one want to play the game of crafting CVs, studying for interviews and playing the interview game when all that isn't actually relevant to the

In Estonia, A-language is usually English and B-language mostly Russian. Partly because 'travel West, you speak English, travel East, you speak Russian' and many Russian-speaking people live in Estonia. For techies, English+Russian still is
