There are other products out there. I've been quite impressed with
ezPublish[1]. Midgard may also be a possibility.

However, I'm yet to see a definitive list of "requirements" that
SchoolForge must have. Zope, Midgard, Wiki and the like are all just
platforms. You need to put work into them to get intelligent results.

Should it have functionality that allows users to register and "start
colaborating"? Etc.
