We were intending to do this anyways but wasn't sure about when we would do
it. What timelines do you have in mind? I don't have time for testing it this month,
unless I can get Bernie and Pradosh to do a lot of the work. For all of July Sulochan and I are dedicated
to getting Nepal's E-Library up and running.

Sure. It isn't really a test unless kids and teachers are involved :)

As I wrote in a separate e-mail, we can't commit to deploying 8.2.0
until after testing it w/ the kids and teachers. If 8.2.0 will require significant
retraining for the teachers, we might not deploy it.

We also intend to deploy the new image together w/ a localized moodle on
the server. Delays in setting up a localized moodle would also delay rolling
out 8.2.0
