Hi All, Thanks for the comments and great progress!
I'll try to respond to all open items in one pass. - On group edit. Thanks to Alex for the link and sanity check on collaboration support in Browse. I think we should let it go for this first implementation. When Browse does collaborate at OS/sugar level we can just use that. Here is one fall back idea. Assume one editor at a time. Add an additional post status of "available for edit". Add a link to the "available for edit" to all students default blog post page. Clicking an "available to edit" link goes to the edit page for the post. Then you can tweak it and re-submit. This would only be available for posts not sent to a blog yet. Teacher page can take a submitted post and flag it to allow that serial editing. Let me know if that makes sense and how hard it is. If its possible we can run it by some teachers. Best case, we call it a stretch goal. - On full featured formatting and options vs. simple. Power user access is done by just going to the blog and doing it there. We should start super-simple and see what else people want. Super simple to me is: enter text, add image and post. If Tarun wants to include more formatting and make it hidden for default that's OK, but simple, clean and elegant is the primary goal. - On auth. User name entered once then cookie sounds good. Zero auth (aka no user or pass) is even better but "enter once" should be fine for now. That's my take but I'll try to get more feedback too. We need to discuss security, especially if its hosted on the Internet. Within a school I think we could say that EduBlog URLs are only accessible from LAN. If EduBlog is over the Internet, how do we prevent other people from using it? My goal is that it be as secure as the blog being posted to. E.g. blogger.com. How do we get that level of protection with user name and cookie only? Also, how do we prevent sniffing of passwords between XO and EduBlog? - On Debian and Uruguay XS config. We got a first pass of info from Latu. They have MySQL right now :-( I have to talk to Pablo some more and see if they will install Moodle + PostGreSQL once we can prove demand for this app. In any case, first pass is Fedora + Moodle + XS build served via Internet. I'd like to hear more comments on how we get to zero touch Moodle install for EduBlog. The teachers in Peru are actively discussing how to install and use Moodle. See: http://www.innovavirtual.org/moodleperu/mod/forum/view.php?id=1088 Bottom line for me is to see an update on Yuri's Lora by the end of August :-) http://cardal-ceibal.blogspot.com/2007/10/prueba-de-segundo-ao_8330.html We're on the right track, thanks for all the great work.
