Same. Disclosure statement: OLPC pays me for work, and OLPC may
benefit from XSCE, directly or indirectly. It is in my interest.

The following are my personal views, and not that of my previous or current
employers.
1. At least for the near-term, all laptop.org hosting seems to be in
stasis. It is not likely to go away, but without additional help it is not
likely to be kept up-to-date and/or improved.
My per
Organizationally, I think there's a lot more leverage staying within the
laptop.org fold, as long as it still exists. We don't need to repeat
disconnects, and bad feelings, when there are really no egos involved. We
have few enough people and resources that any dilution is a bad strategy.
I think

Apart from on a flat network, we are not going to solve the problem of
working on "corporate-style" school networks using Avahi. That presumes

The equivalent for larger networks would be DNS service records, presuming

After a quick glance, this doesn't look like an infrastructure device, but
a client one. i.e. you could use it to connect your XSCE to internet
through GSM.
This can already be accomplished by widely available GSM modems that come
with standard serial interfaces. I guess the reason this particular

This is a more related to Samuel Greenfeld's comments than the XSCE
documentation/install thread from which I branch.
I think it makes sense to grab off of laptop.org all the essential stuff
and put it some new place. We don't know the future, but in the present the
prospect of ongoing support and
I agree that deployment on preexisting networks has not really been given any
attention given the long standing issues that have been ticketed in the
past[1][2]. I like the idea of using avahi to advertise the "schoolserver's"
services offered, just need to address the sugar side[3][4]. The chan
I think you need to be careful how you phrase that -- you just half implied
that all laptop.org hosting is going away. There has been a fair amount of
fear that resources may suddenly disappear, and I have been concerned about
fragmentation where hosting of resources ends up all over the place.

I agree with John. Every point in his documentation section should be
handled. Especially the point about wiki.laptop.org, which has so
many distracting links on the navigation bar that we are all used to,
but which new people become lost in.
