So... We've come to thinking about how to do the moodle authentication
from the xos in the easiest way, but also a way that involves the
teachers/administrators in some way. An idea we came up with is the
following:

hello,
I will be working with Martin Langhoff for a couple of months, with
the hope of giving XS development a boost.
At present I am really just familiarising myself with the system, but
we aim to clean up that bug tracker and have a considerably more
useful school server.
My background is in s

Looks like we have everyone on that time, so good.

I like Sammeer's suggestion of Gobby, which is being used for other
meetings too.

Hello,
I am now in Nauru (very small central Pacific country) starting up a single
class trial here. They have provided a machine to be used as the XS for the
pilot. They have no active antenna (AA) so we are using two network cards
and a D-Link DWL 2100 AP.
I installed the XS software and

Hi Martin,
Thanks for writing up the "Blueprints" for two new XS features:

Let me know if there are any others to review.
Also, is that the right place for them? Are they in 0.3 and is it
"released" with both those features implemented? When a new relea
Has anyone else actually been able to register a new XO without
specifying the jabber server?
We have tried this now with 5 different XOs from Nepali changed images
and fresh non-Nepali images with the same results... we have to do
sugar-control-panel -s jabber
or it will not connect to gabble...
So, even though we are using shorewall for now (it didnt break with an
upgrade from 163 to 164, if it does at some point, we'll go back to
using straight iptables) here are some recommended additions/changes:
- change port 3128 to 8081 (if one installs dansguardian, which really

Hi there,
This is bound to be a controversial email, but its a path we have
chosen to take in order to make the XS server more functional for a
wider audience:
1. Install Dansguardian for content filtering
2. Install Shorewall for trafficshaping, routing and firewalling
3. Install LDAP server (n
