No prob. But make sure to bring them to subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let's have the blogs-on-XS conversations here -- most of the tech issues are common across XS projects ;-) > A few preliminary questions. > 1 - I'm not clear on what you are saying here: "DB - assume Postgres 8.x > series, support mySQL" > Is it PostGres or MySQL? (btw we already brought up a box w/MySQL, so > hopefully it will be easy to copy tables and queries over). The XS right now has Pg, and webapps that want a DB must use Pg. Now, all the *good* blog systems out there support both Pg and mysql. Any blog tool that lacks multi-db support, I would be suspicious of. So pick one that supports both ;-) The paragraph above has an implied recommendation: don't write your own. > 2 - Should we have our own table in a single DB that is shared by Moodle You should be looking at using - Moodle's "official" blog facility --> if you need to add a table, it'll have to be inside of moodle's DB - Moodle's "oublog" --> same as above - An existing standalone blog tool --> the blog tool will have its own DB, create any additional tables in there > and all other apps or do need our own DB.

Just to make sure it's clear: avoid having to write your own blogging software for the XS. > 3 - We will bring up another XS and will put it on the internet. You'll want an XS testbed - probably in a VM. But for the box that goes on the internet, feel free to use any distro and setup you find useful. > The HW and SW specs answer may be RTFM so don't hesitate to send a link.
