assignments via their Moodle course, upload the completed assignment,
the upload is associated with the student via the Moodle database, the

Thanks for asking. The product manager role is only meaningful if

A note on my perspective. So far I have been able to focus exclusively
on XO + Sugar Software. I don't think much about other OSes on XO (e.g.

Hey Tomeu-
By file I mean the product of their work - in write a document, in
record a picture, in etoys a project etc. They want to save what they
do in a traditional way. Now when I mean 'they' I am referring
mostly to teachers or teacher trainers. But i think we need to face
the reality that
basically when teachers and students try to find their work (write,
record, etoys) in the journal it is hard for them to locate it -
especially if it is more than a few days old. This is why everyone is
desperate to save their projects on USB keys. Also it seems that
everything doesn't always go
in addition to boot and activity load time the time it takes to switch
between applications is also a little frustrating - especially for
kids who have worked on faster computers.
I am in Mongolia for the next few weeks. There are several schools in
the city that have computers so if you want any

One thing which you can do to improve activity switching performance is
to run xcompmgr (X composite manager). This prevents the activities
