[Server-devel] Tentative Plans for Nepal's School Server and related infrastructure

[Bryan Berry]

Hey Martin,

The ideas in my e-mail were just ideas. We haven't made much progress
yet.

I do not believe that the idmgr used on the XS supports OpenID. Wad,
please correct me if I am wrong.

Sulo and I are sysadmins so we won't be changing much code, just trying
to integrate existing tools as best we can.

I think the single best way for you to help us right now would be to
work out an identity manager solution for the XS that supports OpenID
and integrates well w/ Moodle.

It would be great if you could come out to Nepal in the month of March,
immediately prior to our April pilot. At that time we will be testing
our school server solution at the school site and may need the help of
an expert to fix problems and modify the system to meet the needs of our
users -- kids and teachers.
