ATM, I am partial to hiding some fields (email,etc). The 'email
address' is also the ejabberd 'login' :-)

I wouldn't skip it completely, OTOH. Going forward, I think it's a
valuable thing to have a profile page.

Now, as of 0.6 it should _not_ be allowing the user to change their
own details. If it does, it's a bug.

You can just disable blogs -- . http://docs.moodle.org/en/Blogs -- you
can hardcode that by setting $CFG->bloglevel in config.php (I can't
remember the right value -- probably 0 disables it )

But on the XS, the blog will remain enabled, as the OLPC edu team is
very keen on them. So keen that they want to link to the blogs and a
blog aggregate in the coursepage.
