- User management for the school server will happen via an extended<br>
version of the Moodle user management UI. The plan is to allow course<br>
membership in Moodle to be visible in the Sugar groups UI widgets (so<br>
you can share an activity with your course mates).<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Again, user management should really be done by an external database (ldap) that then feeds these credentials into whatever program needs them (moodle, email, computer logon, fedora commons)<br> </div>

- Of course, regional deployments are encouraged to include content<br>
and sample courses within Moodle.<br>
<br>
- Some good discussions (for the Moodle.org site, login as "guest")<br>

Further into the future:<br>
<br>
- Moodle is moving towards having a good repository model. I am<br>
trying to help shape those efforts, and make the most in the XS. This<br>
includes teachers in the local XS being able to "publish"<br>
content/course materials for other teachers to use.<br>

- A mostly-disconnected Moodle client based on AJAX+GoogleGears or<br>
something similar.<br>

Hi Dennis,<br>
<br>
I am working on preparing the "xs-0.3" milestone, has some relatively<br>
simple changes (so far) and I am wondering how the repo layout should<br>
be setup. What I want to do is to<br>
<br>
- Build the LiveCD preconfigured to look at 2 repos, or branches in<br>
the existing repo:<br>
-- a pristine F7 branch in the repo that holds all the F7 RPMs<br>
-- an "XS packages" branch<br>
<br>
- For the xs packages branch, is should be looking at the "0.3"<br>
branch. I may make "0.3.x" images with updated RPMs.<br>
<br>
Does that make sense? Our repo right now doesn't seem to be geared for<br>
this, but I am a bit lost as to the best way of reconfiguring it. What<br>
should we do?<br>
<br>
We don't have many (any?) legacy users in production that we need to<br>
support with updates (yet). With 0.3 I'll start supporting users more<br>
explicitly. In the meantime, we have a bit of freedom...<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>
<br>

This question isn't actually related to the XS, it is related to our<br>
internal office IT for OLE Nepal.<br>
<br>
I am going to set up an internal office project management system for<br>
the finance, sysadmin, and networking teams, primarily to track<br>
procurement requests and trouble tickets for the office and the pilots.<br>
Is there any reason I should use anything besides Trac?<br>
<br>
I have looked at <a href="http://www.redmine.org" target="_blank">www.redmine.org</a> and it is quite pretty. However, I want<br>
a nice stable solution. I assume Trac is more stable. Suggestions?<br>
thanks<br>

Hi John,<br>

A text file and raw HTML to the web page work very well if there is a<br>

In the past with Siemens and Motorola phones connected via USB or IR;<br>
I also used an usbserial device and pppd. Somewhere I have an<br>

Testing installation of a new build today with a hand-me-down Shuttle<br>
machine I got a strange error from the Libertas driver.<br>
<br>
libertas: version magic '2.6.23.1-21.fc7 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS '<br>
should be '2.6.23.1-21.fc7 SMP mod_unload 586 4KSTACKS '<br>
usb8xxx: version magic '2.6.23.1-21.fc7 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS '<br>
should be '2.6.23.1-21.fc7 SMP mod_unload 586 4KSTACKS '<br>
<br>
I repro'd this with 161, and (just in case) I tested downgrading the<br>
firmware to the 160 version (usb8388-5.110.20.p49.bin). This is a P4<br>
1.80GHz, I wonder if we are compiling the libertas driver with 686<br>
flags?<br>
