Introduction
Mahara is an open-source e-portfolio education. An eportfolio is a type of web application that allows users to record and share evidence of lifelong learning. (In technical terms, it's a bit like a content management system crossed with a social network.) For more information about what Mahara is and does, try the Mahara user manual's introduction chapter: http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.8/intro/introduction.html#what-is-mahara
