school server and content

[sulochan acharya]

I just want to add to Bryan's email about our plans for the school server in
Nepal, and how we might wanna manage content so that it is easier for kids
to use the XO with the server.

On Moodle:

> 2. Really simplify the UI. Use feature like Chat, Workshop, Database

> 3. Create groups and separate them and make other groups invisible,
> and tie each user to whatever group they fall under. Like grade 2 will
> only view Group 2 and work within it.

that is tied to the journal would be perfect. Can

Maybe even a Puttyssh or ssh with a GUI ?
