I work at Mexican institution that don't fully adopt Google Apps yet. One of the barriers is the Google Sites domain quota is too small for us to be used by our students and teachers and can't rely in the consumer version as there isn't technical assistance.

Once upon a time I attended an "Announcing OpenClass" tutorial / setup presentation at a conference in Denver Co, and today it took 5 freaking minutes to find the bloody login, which it buries in your Gmail tool bar under a drop down!

Hi Eduardo,
We are focusing on US english this year. Next year we are working on internationalization of the platform. This would be a great idea to post on our community forum. Look to this forum for a place to keep up with OpenClass
