Yeah, that's true for application data. With the trial1 file based
system we are using home to store documents, images etc though.
That's the first time I hear of that. It would be no problem to
change etoys to store projects in the home directory - but you
would
have to tell somebody. So what is the preferred directory
layout? And
there is no Journal in Trial1, right?
The Trial1 file based system is documented here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Trial1_Software
We have no journal so the files kids open and save are placed in the
home directory and backed up on the school server.
Let's be careful about cluttering the home directory since the user
interface (a file picker for most activities) does not really
scale a
lot.
Well, that page is not really specific. It just says the web browser
will be used to load content. Fine, I added the ability to launch
etoys projects directly from the web activity. But where do I need to
put user-created files so that they show up in the web browser?
/home/olpc or ~ more generically. This directory will be backed up on
the server and accessed through the web browser by the kids.
A
subdirectory named "MyEtoys" of the home directory maybe?
In principle the home directory I think, unless there are good reasons
to use a subdir.
Okay, I just published an updated etoys package that uses ~ as its
content directory.
However, I'd very much prefer a subdirectory. This directory is used
as VM-level sandbox for all etoys, so any harm is restricted to that
directory. The whole home directory is a rather large sandbox IMHO.
Is there a way to test this? I can easily setup
an rsync server here, but what server software will be running?
Not sure. I think wad is leading the school server effort, ccing him.
So, wad: will a subdirectory of the home be backed up, and be
accessible through the web UI? Or just files in the home dir itself?
