 One extra figure that would be interesting is the server response latency to
 client requests, not sure if hyperactivity gives you that easily.

No, I don't think hyperactivity does measure latency.  The only metric
I have is that activity sharing between XOs worked well enough while
competing with 2000 hyperactivity clients.  There are other test
suites that claim to measure latency, so I'm looking into running one
of them at the same time.

Re: [Server-devel] TinyMCE in Moodle

 That's great!  With the ou blog fixes and tinyMCE integration already in
 HEAD, the edublog changes will be much easier to clean up and integrate.

And here we go: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=107550

So what I would do next is

0 - clone catalyst's moodle-r2 repo

1.1 - create (and checkout) a new branch 'mdl19-oublogplus' tracking
catalyst's mdl19-oublog (yes, the old code)
1.2 - grab a cvs checkout of Sam's oublog code (from contrib) - use
'-kk' if possible - you might need to do -kb for images
1.3 - rsync Sam's code over the git repo (exclude CVS dirs!)
1.4 - commit that into git, so you have the latest code from Matt,
plus one big patch with all of Sam's changes.

2.1 - create (and checkout) a new branch 'mdl19-edublog' tracking
MOODLE_19_STABLE
2.2 - add a remote with the olpc moodle.git repo too
2.3 - merge in mdl19-tinymce from olpc's moodle.git
2.4 - merge in the oublogplus branch you made locally

So now your newly minted mdl19-edublog branch has a clean 19_STABLE
plus oublog plus tinymce.

Of course, it'll be missing _your work_ on top. But at that point you
can start adding it in well defined commits :-)



cheers,

 Been ruminating on this a bit. The more I think about it, the more

DG may not be a good long term solution, but the pilots need it asap and
it still isn't part of the default install. Greg is right that the XS is
already a production project but it lacks one of the key features that
all the pilots need -- basic content filtering. The deployments that
need it most are those w/ the least technical skills and least likely to
complain on this mailing list.

 So it's a task better pushed to a proxy/filter upstream at the ISP
 network -- for any large deployment, we should start advising the
 local team to arrange with the ISP(s?) involved the co-location of 1
 server. This server gives us an opportunity to perform
 
  - filtering at one central place
= better scale up / scale out economies (making bayesian costs more
 reasonable)
= larger scoring pool, so good/bad content gets flagged faster
 and for everyone

I am not a fan of a centralized solution. 

1) It sounds a way off and we need a working solution asap.
2) In Nepal we will work w/ a variety of regional ISP's to provide
bandwidth to schools. I expect many, many other countries will do the
same. I will trust the regional ISP's to provide bandwidth, but not
content filtering as well.

Try to access a 'forbidden' site to verify Dansguardian is working. In
short, a checklist of simple tests to verify server functions.
 
 Worthtwhile idea, right now we have too many things changing, but
 that'd be something for a 0.9/1.0 release.

I respectfully disagree, I think these tests would be more useful since
many things are changing. Simple tests would save us a lot of testing
time in our own lab. The tests should just be generic enough to
accommodate changes in the underlying systems.

Such tests would save Tony a ton of time testing a new XS install,
whether it be 0.4, 0.5-0.9 I suspect they would save time for others as well.

We are working with a core team of 2, soon to shink to 1 1/2. There is
a *very* small set of pilots currently in place, but this number is
about to explode -- I need to focus on moving forward as fast as
possible.

On the other hand, if others can help with documentation and polish
stuff, I'm all for it.

[Server-devel] Using Moodle: Pseudolocales trick for i18n/l10n testing

2008-10-05 Thread Martin Langhoff
We care about l18n to non-latin languages more than most so I
cross-pollinated this idea to moodle.org -- and *already* hit a bug
:-)

Pseudolocales trick for i18n/l10n testing

There is an interesting thread on Fedora-dev, discussing how you can create a
ficticious locale with the strings transliterated from english to something
that looks a lot like the original latin chars.

(The full thread is at
http://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-listm=122292335718893w=2 -- this post
borrows liberally from Sean Flanigan's email. Fedora has further complexities
with its many languages. Moodle can get away with a much simpler approach.)

So for example:

I think we should make use of pseudo-locales to test Moodle.
