-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Jason, I was the original developer of that version of the Research Project Calculator linked from Sourceforge, several years ago when I worked for Minitex. Their public installation is at https://rpc.elm4you.org and is avaliable for anyone to try out. We also run an instance of it at the Univ of Minnesota, but it's behind a login. I've put a little bit of new development into it here and there over the past year to modernize a few things. That's happening over at https://github.com/ac-rpc/ac-rpc-core in the 'experimental' branch. Chiefly, it's still missing adequate testing to be able graduate out of "experimental." Over the years, a few other institutions have brought up their own instances successfully, using custom authentication plugins. The RPC at Minitex was (and probably still is) used extensively, since a lot of K-12 instructors in the state incorporated it into their curricula.
