More sugar-server-templates templates
Depending on whether mace configuration will be used in Sugar Server based deployments or not, implement configuration for all needed services:
- Content filter. Options are: Dans Guardian (MinD fork?), SquidCache, OpenDNS
- Monitoring support. If connectivity is good, then no questions, there are a bunch of ready-to-use solutions like Munin, Nagious, etc. The problematic use case is having servers that are mostly or entirely offline. The way might be collecting data on school servers and passing them to the mothership somehow via sneakernet. Options: run http://collectd.org/ daemons on school servers and provide a useful uploading method.
Glucose patches
- Provide shell patches to use Client API.
Usage statistics
Handle reports and statistics from XOs around a school server and securely send such to the mothership. This feature might be useful from pedagogical point of view, e.g., what activity is being used most of all.
Avoid compromised school servers
Switch to HTTPS for sugar-server RESTfull API to check its certificate on sugar-client side to make sure that client is not interacting with a fake server.
sugar-client
- Support OLPC XS school servers.
Deployment
- as much as possible a plug&play solution for SSK based school servers
(?) Initial Smart Objects support
Many things to think about at first before any implementation...
(?) Mothership
- Interaction with other motherships
- Initial sugar-mothership implementation, regarding only the current sugar-server functionality
Need to collect more experience from XS deployments before any implementation...
