GCompris also has a groups model that allows some teacher administration:
http://gcompris.net/wiki/index.php/Manual#Administering_GCompris

Did the upgrade touch this part of the project? Does anyone know if anyone
is thinking about how to make this functionality available to teachers using
Sugar?

Thanks,
Caroline

Didn't got many answers when I asked about similar functionality on
the Teachermate. My guess is that Sugar is supposed to be deployable
in some situations where the data sharing solutions in the Teachermate
and GCompris don't work.

Having the teacher functionality potentially available where there is an XS
doesn't have to mean the activities won't work when there isn't one. I was
just checking to see the status.

My memory about Teachermate was there were people interested in working on
Teachermate teacher system but they wanted assurances that the Teachermate
activities were going to be released under a GPL or CC license and an idea
of how much content there was.  There were no answers on that.

Thanks,
Caroline

My recollection of what happened is that we got into two bike shedding
exercises: find a way to collect results in more situations and find
better assessment models.

I'm CC'ing Seth at Innovations for Learning in case he has the
information you ask.
