[Server-devel] EduBlog Revised Project Plan

[Tarun Pondicherry]

Hi Greg,

> 2 - I don't like the risk in the "group edit and teacher review"

Teacher review should not be a problem to do in a few days, but group
edit involves implementing things that I don't think Moodle blog/ ou
blog currently support, so it will take longer. The only way around that
is if we can reuse code, but we can't rely on this as we don't know when
it will be done. Perhaps we can take group edit out of beta? Like you
said, its better to underpromise than overpromise; it is possible that
we can implement it in time, just not 100% confident.

 From my understanding of what Martin said, since Moodle will be
preinstalled on the XS, we can provide a direct link to the blog page
which will know who it is etc. So it should behave as desired.

So for now, I can do it with name only authentication, or just have
everyone post under the same UID, which would you prefer?

The difficulty with video is if we have to host the video. If it is
hosted on a 3rd party site that is easy to connect and upload to then
the task is greatly simplified. If the video is already on YouTube or
another site with embeddable widgits, then its trivial as long as Browse
supports it.

Thanks,
