Actually, we need to eliminate the old sample data generation. We're replacing it with a set of sample data in a spreadsheet that can be imported via a new data import mechanism. We released the new import system on Friday but unfortunately introduced some unrelated bugs. We should have this all cleaned up and documented shortly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds interesting, I'm looking at being able to do data import with an xml file that we can produce with our existing school MIS system, so I might have a poke around in the code and see whats there.

Here is an information about how student data is transfered between schools and government bodies in the uk, using xml files.

Yes, if you want to do something country-specific like that (which would be very welcome for the UK) you could create a separate UK person package. If you're interested in having a crack at it, we've got some examples. Catching Ignas on #schooltool on freenode IRC during the day (Lithuanian time) is the best way to get rolling on that.
