<br>
Looks good! Thanks for helping us clarify the final steps before Beta and for lining up the beta sites!<br>
<br>
I copied in the server list and I'll let Tarun comment on any that he can address.<br>
<br>
My only comment is that I would like to make it work without login needed by students but we can solve that later if its not ready in the first pass.<br>
<br>
Also for Tarun et al. Pablo is creating a home page with doc on EduBlog for the beta: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/EduBlog" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/EduBlog</a><br>
<br>
If we can easily update browse-new (maybe browse-new2?) to use that as its home page it will facilitate making this easy.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

I've just done a test sequence on EduBlog and have a lot of comments and<br>
questions, so let's start step by step...<br>
<br>
*Creating a new blog<br>
*<br>
<br>
- The login page isn't in spanish<br>
- I'm not sure how to manage users with EduBlog.... I think we should<br>
start a wiki page to start documenting (and discussing it). Volunteers? :-)<br>
- In the "Adding a new OU blog" form, I can't access the "Manage Remote<br>
Blogs" button, it takes me to a page that says "Sorry, but you do not<br>
currently have permissions to do that ([[oublog:manageremoteblogs]]) More<br>
information about this<br></div>
error<<a href="http://docs.moodle.org/en/error/moodle/nopermissions" target="_blank">http://docs.moodle.org/en/error/moodle/nopermissions</a>>".<br>
*<br>
- It would be better if some options could be hidden, like "Common module<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
settings".<br>
<br>
*New blog post*<br>
<br>
- From the moodle interface, I couldn't upload any picture. I could use<br>
the other interface (<br>
<a href="http://edublog.venango.org/test/EduBlog/moodle/mod/oublog/editpost.php?blog=2" target="_blank">http://edublog.venango.org/test/EduBlog/moodle/mod/oublog/editpost.php?blog=2</a>),<br>
but with this one I cannot select the blog to post to. *<br>
- I tried to upload a Write document, but I couldn't from any of the<br>
interfaces (am I doing right? I tried to upload the file as an image).<br>
<br>
I marked with * the points I find more important.<br>
<br>
I also would like to summarize some points of how the daily work would be.<br>
Let's see...<br>
<br>
- First of all, the teacher will have to get a user and password for the<br>
system.<br>
- The teacher creates a new blog using the interface<br>
<a href="http://edublog.venango.org/test/EduBlog/moodle/course/modedit.php?add=oublog&type=&course=2&section=0&return=0" target="_blank">http://edublog.venango.org/test/EduBlog/moodle/course/modedit.php?add=oublog&type=&course=2&section=0&return=0</a><br>
- All of her children have to get a user and password.<br>
- Then, the teacher can propose some work to be done, for which children<br>
will have to make their posts to the blog. To do so, children will have to<br>
access to the blog page (the moodle one), and click on "New blog post".<br>
- As children submit their posts, the teacher will be able to see them in<br>
the blog page. Children will only see their own posts and the ones already<br>
approved by the teacher. Question: How can a child know if his post was<br>
approved?<br>
- The approved posts will go public, depending on the configuration: If<br>
there is a remote blog configured (blogspot for instance), they will appear<br>
there. If it's local only, it will be seen by others, depending on the<br>
visibility configuration of the blog.<br>
<br>
All agree with this?<br>
<br>
Saludos,<br>
