Very interesting. Welcome to the list and hope you get a chance to meet Sameer! Some questions - after an incomplete read of the RACHEL website: - The content guidelines hint that the content must be able to be served from a 'dumb' server (you are proposing wikis and similar are included in a deployment but separate from content). This is good, and means OLPC XS can re-use your content... - How do you build indexes and/or search across the content? - It mentions 'Wikipedia'. = Do you include all languages? The local language? Local lang + Simple English? Some other variation? = Is anyone "curating" the wikipedia snapshots? OLPC has found that after taking a 'wikislice' you _really_ want to spot-check all the content, as you are bound to have some vandalism and inappropriate content there (very small percentage, but when you capture a large-enough slice...) = Which wikislice tool are you using? - Languages? Localisation? - Any consideration to encourage Gnash-compatible Flash? - Do you package your content in any way? If the school server has a limited connection to the internet, can it download an update to the content that is just delta? Hope I haven't scared you with the storm of questions. 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 [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
