Adding a kid is one entry in a YAML file and a photo named jane-smith.jpg. Then list jane-smith under whatever class, club, or sports team she's in. A profile page is auto-generated, listing every group she's in.

What's in the box: • Class / club / sports / staff pages • Auto profile pages per person • Photo galleries with people-tagging • Name search • Superlatives, year-in-review, autographs • Print-to-PDF • Auto image resize + EXIF stripping
