Hi all, This email is mainly divided into 3 questions for you all because I still have not been able to make 'sound' decision about this.
Many schools in LAm countries (Latin America) do not have internet access 24x7 and/or with great bandwidth. So, I know there are working efforts for a Wikipedia CD version, which could be great for the aforementioned schools, indeed. Nevertheless, would it be better/possible to sync those 'encyclopedia' contents instead of downloading everytime? I ask because a few weeks ago, MoinMoin wiki has released another feature: 'Sync pages', which means a user can actually synchronize contents between a local wiki and a remote wiki server, therefore, this will reduce the downloading time and size, plus... it would also allow schools/users to upload/contribute with contents to the Edu-Commnunity. Why Moin can do such thing? AFAIK, because Moin uses plain-text content that is rendered as nice reading-friendly html on the browser side. So syncing plain-text is neither painful nor so risky. = 1st question = Do you think this culd be useful to manage educontent? = 2nd question = Is it possible and simple to sync educontent from/to L.A.M.P like sites (local <-> remote)? = 3rd question = Since some Moin versions ago, Moin includes a WYSIWYG editor that makes generating content very simple fro teachers/students. Has any of you had experiences using wikis on Education/Learning tasks? Would you? Regards, -- Mauricio Hernandez Z.
