You should check with Ceibal/LATU but IIRC they do have teachers with
plain old laptops. Most countries have this "mixed client"
requirement.

We don't have a "canonical" moodle that runs on the XS (yet!). If you
are going to be hackign on it, grab the latest 1.9.x. My
recommendation is that instead of a cvs checkout you grab a git
checkout like this:

   # clone the repo
   git clone git://git.catalyst.net.nz/moodle-r2.git

   # create a branch that tracks upstream's 19
   git branch --track mynewfeature origin/MOODLE_19_STABLE

   # checkout your branch
   git checkout mynewfeature

   # if you want the oublog module, first have a look at it with a
"temporary checkout"
   git checkout origin/mdl19-oublog
   ... look around the code, and then switch back to your working branch...
   git checkout mynewfeature

   # if you liked the oublog code, merge in that branch
   git merge origin/mdl19-oublog

cheers,
