Pre-empting Martin, I've now moved the thread from sugar to the XS Devel
list...

Indeed, and the deepest part of that pool will be to fully understand gears
and how it can recreate what moodle already does in a smaller, faster, and
localised fashion. There is a possibility that the Jolongo people join in
here and move from AIR to gears, since their bubble was burst concerning AIR
not being open source. Also, their code will be the best place for a
starting point, I think. I've mailed them again today to ask if they can
give us that code (which they claim is open source) and whether they are
going to seriously join the coding efforts in the gears camp... otherwise
there will be 3 independent offline moodles being built (seems a bit of a
waste...)
