I had a talk with sebastian at linuxtag about including local squid with a whitelist in soas. I do not know how others thinking about this but I am generally concerned about giving unlimited internet access to the children. This might be different in a schoolserver/XO environment, but if you want to have a widely spread soas deployment it should be available at least as an option.
Unfortunately there are no constantly maintained whitelists available - I talked to the people of "Kinder im Netz" - a german organisation maintaining a whitelist - but they have legal/licence concerns opening the whitelist to other software beside their own (propietary) windows software. For a fist start I guess it would be possible to a) provide squid in the image b) provide a minimum example whitelist (e.g. surgarlabs.org, google.com) to serve the links from the initial brwose-activity startpage c) provide a tutorial how to enable squid and to modify the whitelist _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
