Edubuntu Portal Server as a Corporate Identity and Single Sign On solution

Registered by Jörg Sawatzki

I'd like to start a project to implement a lightweight portal server targeted to schools. Besides providing some default layout themes, schools should be able to easily edit templates and include their own cooperate design. The core provides central authentication services (CAS+LDAP) and a navigation menu that is created from the modules installed. Modules can be local installations of all CAS-enabled applications, e.g. moodle or roundcube webmail, which are wrapped into the page using an iframe or web services for teachers and students on external servers. Other modules that should be developed (or integrated): LDAP user/group admin, print job management and billing, host and ip address management, forums, storage for users and groups (SFTP+CAS, Amazon S3, WebDAV), library manager.
I'd like to use python + django for the portal core but the modules can be implemented in other languages.
Looking for people who are interested to help with development and concepts and for somebody who can provide us with a edubuntu development and playground server. Thanks!
