<div class="gmail_quote">Dear Martin en Tim,</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Thanks for your quick response.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">In fact at this moment I'm a little bit confused.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">As far as I know Moodle will run offline on a Linux (school) server. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">So when you've this server it must be no problem to contact to this server with a client computer and have access to the Moodle installation on that server without any Internet access (but making use of your LAN settings, Local-Area-Network).</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">But know it becomes interesting, what if your client computer is an XO with linux & sugar on it? </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Will it still be no problem to access your offline Moodle installation (at the school server)?</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">I think it is a problem at this moment, Martin you wrote earlier that some serious programming must be done to let this work, am I right?</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">I asked this question because I doubt if my earlier questions where clear enough.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">Tim, the content of OleNepal is meanly flash based.</div>
<div>Reasons of using Moodle (wishlist) for OleNepal are:</div>
<ol>
<li>Student Management</li>
<li>Discussion & Sharing</li>
<li>School calender with activities</li>
<li>Course planning</li>
<li>Automatic enrollment</li></ol>
<div>In general I think this a very interesting situation, because when we succeed to let Moodle offline work for (in combination with) XO's with sugar on it, we've a solution that might be interesting also for other OLPC related situations when it comes to the wish of using Moodle aswell.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm an educational scientist and not really a technical guy, so I really appreciate all your advice or any suggestions so I can help OleNepal to write down a roadmap for the use of Moodle that make sense.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I really look forward to your response.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>

<div>I could give 1-2 days a week to this for the foreseeable future. I'm OK with php and sql and have done cms and lms in the past. I have only worked minimally with moodle as a user on XS, loading 3rd party content. If that's of interest I would need some more information, such as:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Requirements:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It looks like the first part of this conversation was off-list. Luuk, I'm not sure what you mean by 'offline' - xo disconnected from xs or xs disconnected from internet. Moodle has functionality to load external modules; what do you need beyond that? What is the nature of the content and is it known to be deployable on moodle?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Approach:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Martin, you mentioned GSoC. I searched the 858 projects from 2009 for ones you mentored. There are two; neither relevant, so I'm not sure where your blueprint or any work already completed are.</div>

<div>Dear Matin, </div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your quick response.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regarding my question about the wish of OleNepal of using Moodle offline in</div>
<div>combination with the following configuration:</div>
<div>Moodle is intended to be installed on school servers and be used by teachers</div>
<div>and students. Moreover we would also like to have the moodle to be preloaded</div>
<div>with sample contents that would be prepared by curriculum experts at OLE.</div>
<div>The school teachers and students will be allowed to add their own contents</div>
<div>though. The school server runs GNU/Linux (a Fedora based distribution) and</div>
<div>the XO also runs Linux with sugar on it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You write there's serious programming to do, to make this work.</div>
<div>I hope you can let me know when you expected this work is finished.</div>
<div>I try to write a roadmap regarding Moodle & OleNepal do you have advise for</div>
<div>me (keeping in mind my question above?)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I really look forward to your response, thanks in advance.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best Regards,</div>

<div>Well, there is nobody working on it right now AFAIK. You can look at</div>
<div>the GSoC project in <a href="http://moodle.org/" target="_blank">moodle.org</a>, I co-mentored a student there (and</div>
<div>posted a good blueprint of a plan), but the job wasn't finished.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If a capable PHP & Moodle dev is interested, I can offer mentoring.</div>
<div>Also, I will probably volunteer to mentor in the next round of GSoC,</div>
<div>and this feature is top of my list.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Wish I had more concrete plans to offer, but OLPC is chronically</div>
<div>short-handed. Which is also an opportunity: want to see something</div>
<div>happen? Make it happen ;-)</div>
<div> </div>
