It's a fantastic idea, but I have to concur with Tomeu -- make it work _local_ (with the XS for example, though it doesn't have to be), and from there push it upstream if possible, but *let users control this explicitly*. My long term plan (if I ever get to it!) is to do something like this with Moodle+Mahara. Or perhaps Moodle->Moodle. So I'd love to see this done. When I write "let users control this explicitly", I mean: let kids share this with their local (and safe) group, and let them choose to publish more widely (to the internet) with the input from adults (teachers, parents). We had almost identical discussions with the "edublog" team, they wanted to have kids blog directly to the internet. As things progressed they realised it was a bad idea. Do search the discussion lists for edublog to have more background. In some countries, beyond being a bad idea, it is illegal. In the US at least there are serious laws that will get teachers and schools into lots of trouble if kids' privacy is breached. And yes, Internet === Breach of privacy. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
