emuecobbei stands for "Eastern Michigan University Black Board Equipment Inventory" is an equipment inventory application that is intended to be used on a campus that has deployed the blackboard.com technology.

Here are some key features of "emuecobbei":
sigs (aka "categories") - links, news, posts to the forums, etc are assigned to a sig so the content of the site is organized, similar to the way yahoo started.
rss feed aggregator - this module is actually two parts: one is a script written in python which gets urls from the database and downloads rss-based content from a cronjob. the 2nd part displays this content on a web page.
glossary (aka "aolbonics" or "urban dictionary")
forums (posts and responses)
news (with comments)
poll (voting booth)
link (database of html anchors)
gfile (old-school bbs term for "general file" aka "text files")
"bbcode" rendering
permissions (boolean values assigned to each member)
authentication (login and password)
user preferences (for example, the number of items to display per page)
template-based content, meaning the administrator does not need to know a great deal about php to make content changes to the site.
applications which build upon the bbsengine functionality:
workflow - project management tool with fields similar to those described in RFC1297
emuecobbei - an equipment inventory application
tunebox - a media management application
cit - contact information tracker

Requirements:
bbsengine (Snapshot branch)
