Any one familiar with #mahara?

I can't tell if is a thing each student runs for themself, or they pick one, or their school runs it, or their national gov or what.....

As a dev for a university should I make one for my students or should I supprt some existing one?

@Br3nda
One per institution or so as I understand it.
@mahara or
@anitsirk can probably explain more.
@abartlet @Br3nda @anitsirk Usually, an organisation sets it up or like with https://myportfolio.school.nz there is one for many institutions.
