[drupal-docs] drupalED, drupalART?

[Charlie Lowe]

Boris is right. The configuration wizard/install profile system that 
Adrian has been working on is what you'll need. I created the first 
"unofficial" drupaled about two years ago. It was the configuration I 
was using with other teachers for classroom use. However, Drupal can be 
used for many other uses in education other than just the classroom, and 
we'll need profiles to accomplish this.

At the same time, you could also begin building your profiles by 
creating base sites for some various different uses to get a feel for 
what configurations they would need. And it will probably help to create 
"best practices" documentation for using those profile sites.
