Re: [Server-devel] Web Caching Issues

2010-03-24 Thread Andra DuPont
I ultimately got wwwoffle working and will make a complete posting on how soon. 
From a big picture perspective, I installed the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 .rpm 
from the atrpms.net link (wwwoffle-2.8b-2.0.1.el5.i386.rpm). In the 
wwwoffle.conf file I changed "http-port = 8080" to "http-port = 3128" and in 
the AllowedConnectHosts section I put "172.18.96.*" which is the IP address 
range of my access point. Finally I had to set my proxy to 172.18.0.1 port 3128 
. I did not have to make any changes to the localhost settings in the 
wwwoffle.conf file.

It would be great to be able to use version 2.9 if you could get a good rpm for 
it.

Thanks for your help,
Andy

Yep. Agreed, same here.

What I was thinking about was the UI design... for example, just one
very obvious case we have to deal with: it is a good idea to design
the UI so that we have a metaphor to edit groups (create, add/remove
users). This can work server-less or with XMPP/Moodle backends -- we
have to define a "lowest common denominator" and aim to use just that.

For the initial implementation we are discussing, I would avoid
implementing the client-side editing, and go instead for something
easy: just read the groups via Telepathy -> Gabble -> XMPP (which in
turn is controlled by Moodle). But if we have a plan for the "full"
interaction, we can start implementing the basics.

Without looking at the long term UI, maybe we implement something and
then... have to change the UI significantly in the "next stage".

It's not a big deal... I just think it would be good to have a chat or
two to define some of those "lowest common denominators" strategies,
and some key "features".

An example on the 'feature' side: one of the strongest requests from
the field I have is something I don't think we ever thought about --
teachers want to set a mode in Moodle that forces all kids' XOs to
only show _this_ group/course/classroom members. Not sure how that'd
work but I get that request from several independent deployments.

I probably need to think these ideas through, and throw them in the
collective pot... if you're interested...

cheers,

I was thinking that Moodle would put contacts in groups in the server
side and Sugar would just use the standard Telepathy interfaces.

In that way, whatever is done in the server side would work for
students using Gnome and Empathy, and also other deployments could get
creative on the server side without having to fork Sugar.
