[I'm answering only the identity/web server questions; Chris et al can answer the Sugar-related ones.]

Identity will be detailed in an upcoming spec, but the basic idea is that there will be an API to a system-wide identity service that can verify and issue digital signatures. > Will teachers have an OLPC machine of some kind? Yes. > Will it be different? Perhaps better suited for a webserver? The hardware will be the same. The children's machines will already run a web server, albeit one that can only execute Python code. But we're planning to have a server in each school with more storage and such. In small schools, the server is likely to be a laptop with a specialized external hard drive; we're not sure about bigger schools yet, but I imagine those might be ones where you'd have enough firepower to run a thick web server and e.g. PHP. > Most of this belongs to a web-app framework for OLPC. Either there is > one for me to use... or there's a task for me to build one ;-) We're building one. The only supported language on the machines is Python, though, so that won't be helpful with the existing Moodle codebase. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
