[IAEP] [support-gang] Update to ProjectBernie

[Tony Anderson]

That's about right. The school servers are located at deployments which 
do not have access to the internet and so must rely on open educational 
resources which can be hosted locally. The proectbernie site is intended 
to show what content is available from the school server loaded from the 
BERNIE hard drive. Naturally, this is done by linking to the source site 
on the internet. At the deployment,streaming is minimized, instead 
videos are downloaded to the XO laptops so that they can be viewed 
independent of the school server, e.g.when a user takes the laptop home 
beyond the range of the local area network.
