Hi Gerv,

>From a web application perspective, getting users to upgrade their
websites is hard.  Really hard.

As Dan and Martin have pointed out, there are loads of schools admins
rocking in corners clutching their precious Moodle 1.9, and likewise
there are admins doing the same with Mahara 1.2. Neither group are
likely to upgrade in a huge hurry.

So while it's a nice thought that we could use this to force them to
upgrade, for many of them the changes in the systems between 1.9/1.2 and
2.3/1.6 can involve retraining rather non-technical staff which is
likely to build resentment towards the projects.

Sadly, I suspect the quickest "selfish fix" for our immediate situation
would be for Mahara to get the same treatment as Moodle has. However,
that's not going to fix anything as it doesn't fix it for all the other
applications utilising mnet. There are mnet integrations done with
Drupal and other things too as far as I'm aware.

This situation rather sucks. :(

  Translation for: "Kein Zugang: Die MNET-Session gibt es nicht!", ->
  "No access; The MNET-Session does not exist!"

  Tried with Mahara 1.6.1 & 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.1.
  This bug is reproducible.
