Name only auth, and we can make the cookie persistent, so it will only ask for it once. >> Video is important, e.g. this site is all video: >> http://www.sextosdela37.blogspot.com/ >> >> If we allow linking to video posted on Internet instead of upload from >> XO, does that help? >> > > The difficulty with video is if we have to host the video.

Moodle supports file upload, and then linking to the urls (if users can handle the copy-url, paste idiom. The HTMLArea editor supports picking the files - but it is in a new window, which I don't think will work in Browse. Budget for some time on this. First cut can be externally hosted video - video support these days often counts on Flash. I would suggest checking with people on [EMAIL PROTECTED] what workflow we can use to end up with stuff that is viewable with Gnash - but try to avoid the inevitable flamewar...
