Sounds reasonable - even if we had everything "done" now, it would be impossible to ensure it is deployed on your schedule. A non-XS-based installation probably means usernames/passwords will be required - we can only do magic authentication tricks with the local XS. > My secondary concern is that many programmers know how to build Apache + > Script + DB Web Apps (LAMP if you will).

What we can do is plan to provide moodle pre-configured so thus - blogs are enabled - if using oublog, the "sitecourse" which is the frontpage, has an oublog activity (and the standard blog facility disabled to avoid conf - the UI for blogging is simple / simplified from > I have to focus on customer side for a while so have at it and let me > know what you think is the best way to satisfy the requirements: > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Blog_Educativo_Plan_del_Proyecto#Requirements_ > English Re-reading those, I still think moodling our way forward is the easiest. Some of those req's are going to be hard to accomplish, but we can discuss that separately. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
