[Server-devel] regarding Moodle

[Tim Moody]

Luuk, I think what you want to do, have XOs access content in Moodle on the 
XS even if the XS is disconnected from the interner (but not from the LAN), 
already works 'out of the box' on XS 0.6 and higher.  Martin, I agree that 
supporting Moodle content on XOs when they are disconnected from the XS is a 
big undertaking, and one dear to your heart.

Neither of these is what I thought Luuk was originally asking for, namely an 
easy way to package all the content Nepal is developing for deployment in 
Moodle on the XS.  I don't know if this is needed or not.

Sure! It's "not connected to the internet". But it runs on the XS.

What the Nepal folks mean when they say "offline moodle" is something
like Google Reader's "offline mode", which uses GoogleGears. I suggest
you try it.

What they want is to be able to see their course materials when they
are _away from the school_, for example at home, with no network
connection. The browser should be super-smart and cache the whole
course.

See Google Reader's "offline mode" for a great example. I actually use
it quite a lot.
