Thanks a lot for your answers.
Yes, I think a shared credentials are the best way.
Basically we want to offer a service just for the Xos and are working now on
the authentication model.
We are going to use webservices with
Ed, Kim, Emiliano, and Guadalupe,
As described in http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8976, I've succeeded in
repairing wifi-activation to my satisfaction. However, in its present
form, wifi-activation only makes use of the mesh and does not attempt to
acquire leases over any 802.11b/g networks.
I believe that Browse already works this way. (There are many ways to
implement the feature, given the shared data directory available to
all instances of an activity.)

How about:
scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]/git/activities .
? (Or were you saying that you need a real shell on dev?)

My fault; overeager scripting to the rescue.
Apologies,

P.S. - People interested in improving or reusing said overeager
scripting should examine and improve

Thanks; welcome back! I have been working on the request you made last
week, and on trying to have something out this week as I said I would.
Good to hear.
It's been important to me to ensure I'm reflecting OLPC's

I don't understand that comment. What several efforts are you talking
about? I don't think there were several efforts to publicize this outage -

Scott,
I spent some more time with Journal2 today and implemented two minor
features; namely,
* display of the estimated no. of results
- (which helps deal with the display of empty result-sets)
* incremental display of results
- (which makes it easier to time things).

My reason for asking is that I have a problem with Network Manager

I will leave that ticket open. If 8.2's Network Manager will not be
updated, then I can close
Scott,
I've wanted to see Journal2 running on an XO for some time so I:
1. flashed 767 onto my XO and installed git.
2. checked out git://dev.laptop.org/users/cscott/journal2.
* downloading and recompressing 80 MB of videos is really slow on an
XO; please stick these in a submodule.

Scott,
This is adequate to bring up a nice journal gui but, unfortunately,
searches yield no documents, presumably because none have been indexed.
What should I do in order to try out searching?

I like READMEs, but I don't want to be in the business of maintaining
them. Unfortunately, I also don't really want to give the whole world

Comments welcome. Are there important power management bugs that I've
left out?
Yes; namely, finding or writing a good technical introduction to the
subject of power management as it applies to our software and hardware.

Hello,
I would like to try out the XO software and get started with doing some
development.
As I am a security guy, I am mostly interested in core development,
especially bitfrost/rainbow, and the document store.
Music to my ears!
