[Server-devel] Testing EduBlog

[Greg Smith]

Hi Tarun,

Thanks.

I think Pablo is the primary driver of requirements and priorities now. 
As long as he appreciates that we only have one more week of coding 
time, we should try to do whatever he needs to get us to Beta and real 
blog posts from real schools.

You have done a super job! Way above and beyond the call of duty and 
beyond all expectations. The Abiword conversion thing is really tough 
but its a huge win if it allows uploading images from Write to EduBlog.

We changed the requirements. So you didn't miss the deadline, we missed 
the requirements. Feel free to use that one in the future if you have 
another paid programming job :-)

Have a good trip back and thanks a lot for your hard work.
