There are several free open-source projects on the web,
however from the looks of it none are comparable to
ms access.
So the next best thing is to use some webservice combined
with some database language. I was thinking about
PHP+RUBY RAILS for the db forms + POSTGRESQL.
Any other suggestions?
Background: I am instructing students for a pro bono
gov (details are obscured on purpose, NDA ...)
project and the project is largely information
centric. I.e. you enter data and display data,
cross-referencing , etc...
Its very important that the users of the system will
find it easy to use, I.e. as much as possible to lower
their level of involvement with the technical stuff.
The students involved in the project have limited
capabilities with programming so I think something
like ruby rails is the maximum they can do.
They have only one semester to implement (they already
used one semester to design and analyze) so
they must concentrate on productive issues
like forms/reports/etc... instead of dealing with
the technical stuff.
Most of the technicalities could be done by another
branching project after they are done.
Important requirements for the pro bono project:
the tools Must be Free and not only Open Source.
Hebrew interface, hebrew db support.
MUST run also on a winbox.
