An alternative to extending e-book readers -  a file distribution system for the server and a client for the XO.  The goal of this project is to build an easy system to host files on the server that can be downloaded using the browser activity and possibly a file distribution downloader activity.

The server is a php script, this is designed to be a quick prototype/test of concept.  In the future, it may be converted into a stand alone python server with little or no setup configuration. Please feel free to comment on the [[Talk:School_Server/RIT/File_Distribution_System#Php Script VS Standalone Python Server|discussion page]] if you think this would be a valuable move, or to just leave it as a php script on the server.

The second part of the school server file distribution system is a client that can run on the xo.  The purpose of the client is to allow a nicer interface to the server then the browser.  The client should be able to support all functions as the browser.  The advantage to using the client is that it will integrate better into the journal as well as perform better on spotty connections.

I am currently developing a FileShare activity (I will update some documentation for that soon).  The source code for this project can be found here: [http://gitorious.org/jlew/xo-file-distro]. I plan to then start adding these features into that activity once I get the FileShare up and running.
