Beautiful! I think I might package this and do the same. If you
wanna be really evil, one could have a system that automatically after
one week of no login activity posts messages on certain forums / email
lists. I wish folks would appreciate the value of the time of folks
that actually work wit
Hi David,
Had that idea myself though didn't manage to see it through to a
complete implementation yet. I guess the first thing you have to
figure out is what devices people have. Formats are going to be a
time consuming pain for mobile x / mobile y etc. No getting around
that.
I would suggest
Hi,
Was a topic I considered a little while back working with CMS systems
out here...
Depends what class of mobile device was one is dealing with - if
you're talking PDAs and more advanced phones then just a template /
Joomla running in XHTML mode should be fine as long as it's reasonably
put tog
Hi,
I guess that would be because by default when you define a peer all
traffic normally gets sent to that upstream proxy, which in this case
would be able to go back to the school server...
Put the schoolserver in an always_direct ACL and then traffic for the
school server will not go to the ups
Hi,
This has been on my agenda for a while but only recently got around to
doing it ...
What we need is a mass way of configuration XS servers and XO clients
that works even with limited connectivity and when the machine is
sometimes connected and sometimes not...
cfengine is a very nice promise
Actually httrack is by default not evil to servers - and there are
plenty of options there to make it wait x seconds between pages, limit
the transfer rate, etc. We've used it to copy a fair few websites and
it hasn't hurt anyone.
Everything else related to offline wikis lives here:

There are a few plugins that deal with exporting MediaWiki...
However if you don't have access to it you can use httrack to mirror
it for offline usage - have been using this in Afghanistan for a while
and it works very nicely. You can also check out webdump as a remote
httrack controller - you c
Hi All,
SDLI is still very much work in progress - more will be coming out
shortly as we are developing it here in Kabul. Do deploy it you would
simply put the output in a folder that is accessible by Apache. There
are some new features and docs coming for SDLI and I'm trying to clean
up a lot o
Hi All,
One random question for the Pacific Islands - how are class times
like? Here in Afghanistan for instance we are up against the fact
that because of school shifts they only have 30 mins to do a one hour
lesson (hence when one has a blended learning model and curriculum
materials you have a
Hi Guys,
There was the info dev list for low cost computing that came out and I
found Aleutia through this. In Afghanistan we got some T1's:
1.6 Ghz Intel Atom (Fanless)
250 GB HDD
2GB RAM
10-13W Power Use
Accepts 12V DC

Hi All,
Greetz from Kabul. We have a very exciting upcoming deployment to
Kandahar coming up and hopefully many more deployments :)
There are two main things that caught my eye for trying to integrate
into XS (and I'm willing to put in development time / expertise as
well :) ):
1. Adopting cfen
SDLI
to make an index)
We use webdump (a open source app we programmed based on httrack) to
grab websites and package them into a format suitable for offline use.
