Caucus 4.6 "Sirius" for Unix has been released.
   New features in Caucus 4.68, code-named "Sirius" include
  • a very fast, very portable WYSWYG editor
  • "course conferences" with gradebooks and assignment sheets
  • a more professional look and feel based on CSS (cascading style sheets)

and much more.  This version also supports three add-on packages: an integrated 'chat' tool, a user statistics module based on MySQL, and a "batch new user registration" tool. See What's new in 4.6.

(The Caucus server runs on most flavors of Unix, including MacOS 10.3, but does not run on Windows.  Caucus users may work from any browser on any platform, including Windows.)


Integrated Caucus 'chat' tool released.
   Caucus 4.6 supports an integrated 'chat' tool called "Babylon".  This is available as an add-on package, at the flat one-time price of US $200 per site.  To download this package, please contact us at info@caucuscare.com.
