Hello,<br>I read with interest the idea of creating a community of XO users and I welcome and support it.</blockquote><div><br>Yay!

Earlier I mooted the point of creating a concept of net librarians (both voluntary and paid). Similarly I will be happy to setup a moodle site for the XO users. I already designed a portal for XO users in the Moodle framework. The prototype is avaialble at

I know Drupal can fill a similar role. Has there been any progress/decisions on what or how we are going to use a CMS of some sort per school server?

<br>Have you worked with the School Server team at all? There was a post to <a href="mailto:community-support@laptop.org">community-support@laptop.org</a> about alternate jabber servers the XO can use.<br><br>We should coordinate on if a go-to school web server for all G1G1 people should be done.
<br><br>In the same way that having dozens of XO users on your mesh adds value (and utility) to the OLPC by using a shared jabber server for development machines, so too would a content library, classroom portal and other educational material shared over the scattered world of first shipment machines. Make G1G1 be its own virtual school deployment.
