Are you still using Hierarchical Select? :) I'm still using your custom HS implementation for demo purposes: http://wimleers.com/demo/hierarchical-select/az-standards

We sure are :) The project we originally used it for is undergoing an overhaul to Drupal 6.x, along with some Solr integration. I also just helped a developer at University of Arizona get rolling with it on a development site.

Just starting a Drupal implementation at our University (EKU). Lots of resistance to change! I would be eager to talk with you about "buy in" and training.

What modules are available that were mentioned for the K4Health? I'm interested in the File Cart module that was mentioned.
