[Server-devel] Testing EduBlog

[Greg Smith]

Hi Tarun,

I can take care of this if you still have coding work to do. I'll write 
up a brief presentation and do a demo off of http://edublog.venango.org/ 
"prototype" link if they need it.

FYI presentation will be in 1CC at 12:30 - 1:30 US ET Friday so please 
don't mess with the server for that hour.

Send over any presentation or demo stuff you have done already (we will 
use it eventually) but top priority is doing what Pablo needs to start 
the beta.

Attached is the PPT I will give.

Thanks,

Greg S
