Hi Carol,
Re your comment:
In response to Scott's mail, if you look at the roadmaps linked to
there is nothing approaching a feature oriented roadmap there, though a
lot of good input is gathered in the mails captured at the end of his
w.l.o/9.1 link, and of course there is no clue in this
services used by LATU.
With some luck we will be able to work on these lower layer problems in
deployment at later stages.
Cheers!

Hi Sayamindu,
Are you maintaining Read now or is Morgan?
I got a ping from Brian who is in Rwanda and he confirmed that this bug:
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7090
was actually seen by kids there. Just as cjl predicted in Trac, it was
hit by kids on first exposure to the XO.
Can we get some
Hi Andres,
A few comments to get you warmed up. I will ask the current EduBlog team
to give you more suggestions and details too.
1 - My understanding of the current XS design is that it has one
interface visible to the Internet and another visible to the school
only. It seems pretty secure
Hi Andres,
I missed one key one.
Have a known clean backup. Add user data to it if you can, but backup
regularly. Be ready to restore to a clean backup on short notice if you
are compromised and need to start from scratch.
Thanks,

Hi Bryan, Martin et al,
Good input on content filtering, thanks.
Here's my take on the current state of affairs:
1 - We have a release called 0.5 which is almost done and should be
available in October. It does not include DanGuardian. The following URL
lists the work that is in or close to
New Feature of the Weekly Report.
Greg's User Feedback URL of the Week (English):

This is a great evaluation of an XO pilot in a NYC school.
Greg's User Feedback URL of
this like a production
class system which will go in to real schools (some we know about and
some we don't) every month from now on.
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
Sorry I sent that last e-mail before reading the full list.
If Bryan needs Dansguardian built in that's good enough for me. I take
back what I said about it not being critical.
Let's put it on the roadmap for 0.6 and see if we can make it happen in
time for Nepal to deploy it.
Hi Michael,
Can you begin filling out the final ECO form for 8.2?
I believe that entails updating this page:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0/Checklist
Let's build it with the assumption that 8.2-767 will be the release
version. All systems are go according to the latest info I have.
