<div dir="ltr">Michael, how did you envision publishing a blog on the Internet without the use of a server? The kids are using the write activity to compose their posts. I'm confused by your comment.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>I was happy to see that you brought your project so far so quickly and I<br>
was pleased that you were able to use technologies (e.g. Moodle)<br>
familiar to the people you recruited to assist you; however, I felt very<br>
strongly that the architecture you chose was alien to the<br>
'no-server-needed-but-we'll-use-one-if-it's-available' architecture<br>
underlying the XO (and stated most clearly in Scott's "Network<br>
Principles" document).<br>
