[Server-devel] EduBlog: Requesting input on design of Preview and Remote Blog Admin Pages

[Tarun Pondicherry]

Hi Greg,

I fixed the bugs I knew of, you can send the link out for another round 
of inputs. (http://olpc.betarun.com/dev/ui/student_sp.php)
Right now, I think the most useful input would be for the functionality 
that we will need.  The GUI for all the pages will end up being what is 
shown now with the addition of some Moodle options.  Some things may be 
moved a bit for the first beta.  But we can reposition it to our liking 
for the long term.  The teacher page will be different also because at 
the moment it shows the entire post and not just the title.  The look of 
this will change a lot, but the options will be the same.

The Remote Blog API right now supports one user posting (students have 
to sign posts to know where it came from) and images.  The Blogger.com 
extension supports the same.  I think this is enough for the beta 
version.  Let me know if anything else is critical.

I'm also wondering how some of the options for creation of the blog will 
work.  I think the teacher will select from the following: Direct Remote 
Posting, Direct Local Posting, All Posts Need Approval.  If Remote 
posting is enabled, then all blogs posts will be added both locally and 
published.  If only local posting, student posts only go to ou blog and 
teachers need to push the post to blogger.  If they need approval, only 
the student and teacher will be able to see the post until it is 
approved at which point it will be visible on ou blog or published to 
blogger.

Thanks,
Tarun
