UK Common Basix Data Set

[Martin Stevens]

I would like to bring to the developers attention, the UK Common basic data set
that any school management tools should use if they are going be managing a school.

http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/management/tools/ims/cbds/cbdsspecs/

Schools in the UK also transfer information between themselves and the LEA
(Local Education Authority) by using a CTF (Common Transfer Format) which is an
XML file created by using information from the CDBS.

Sorry that should have been:

This is ostensibly feasible with our customizable demographics modules, but in practice the CDBS is too complex to use without more customizable forms than we currently have.
