I haven't been keeping up with this list as well as I should have, but I just noticed some discussion regarding internet filtering in Birmingham.
At our XS testbed school, Glen Iris, when I set up the 0.4 box, I edited /etc/named.conf and /etc/named.conf.in to use the OpenDNS IPs. SInce the DSL connection there has a static IP, it was really easy to set up on the OpenDNS site. It is CIPA compliant and a lot of other schools and libraries use it, we figure we're safe as far as internet filtering goes. Per the administrators' request, I set the filter on "high" which means it blocks "timewasters" - pretty much everything fun like myspace and even gmail. I haven't gotten any requests to whitelist anything yet. As far as when the XOs are away from the school, I installed the Foxfilter plugin for FF3, which is the best I could think of. It's certainly not perfect, but it's better than nothing. Part of the parent's "contract" is to monitor their children's internet usage, anyway. So, unless there's a better option, we're going to plan on using OpenDNS on the XS's here. Anna Schoolfield Birmingham
