Hi, Sanchit<br>
<br>
Since the deployment does not have access to the internet,
challenges will need to be designed in advance and installed on the
school server (via BERNIE or download from the internet (e.g. to a
usb key). <br>
<br>
I plan to try elgg on the school server to give a social media
environment local to the deployment. <br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I understand that Project Bernie will help those people who
don't have access to the internet but still I was thinking
that we could provide a Forum or Q & A sort of portal
where users can clear their doubts, if any, or better yet
let them give suggestions to improve the site as well?<br>
<br>
</div>
The users will also be learning how to create basic sugar
activities so we could use this to organize some sort of
monthly competitive event based on what they are learning
(python, javascript, html, english, history). We can let the
teachers in the school create quizzes and host the quiz on the
school server. The question is what type of contest it can be.
I think if the deployment is used on a school server this can
be achieved. Just a suggestion, though.<br>
<br>

Thanks</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was very busy with labs and assignments over the
past few days, and would like to apologize for not
replying sooner.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Great efforts! I tried different things and would
like to discuss some of these:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried opening the 4 sections of "Python
Programming". So, for "Inventing your own games with
Python" and "Making Games with Python and Pygames", the
link opens and shows the index. But the internal links
of this index are all showing "Internal Server Error".<br>
<br>
The section "Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python", is
opening and the links within are also working. All the
text is displayed but the images are not showing up. <br>
<br>
In the "command line" section, all the links are
showing: "Internal Server Error". <br>
The "Web technology" section looks good! But as has been
stated, there are three options on the top of the page,
"Prev", "Index" and "next". And the "Index" link takes
us back to the original starting page "<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.projectbernie.org/" target="_blank">http://www.projectbernie.org/</a>".
While it should take us back to the chapters page. <br>
<br>
Some of the chapters have attachments. But when I tried
to open them, it showed "You don't have permission to
access on this server".<br>
<br>
"Eloquent Javascript" is opening pretty nicely. But the
"Exercise Hints" page says that "The hints below might
help when you are stuck with one of the exercises in
this book." But there is nothing written below that.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> 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.<span><font

<p dir="ltr">It would seem "representative
of" is different from streaming 700 gig
to whomever, so maybe it is a menu
frontend to see what is on the menu,
then you order the 1T drive, it arrives,
then you have the videos...<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I visited Introduction to
Web Technology under the Web
Technology track. (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html"
target="_blank">http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html</a>)</p>
<p dir="ltr">I chose the first chapter
Getting Started, competed all the
sections. I was navigating to next
section through a next option on
top of the page. It has a
prev/index/next option. On the last
section of first chapter, when i
wanted to go to the next chapter
Markup basics , the next option was
not working. I clicked on the index
option, thinking it will take me
back to the list of chapters page( <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html"
target="_blank">http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html</a>),
however it took me to the home page
(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.projectbernie.org/"
target="_blank">
http://www.projectbernie.org/</a>).
<br>
So i again had to go to the list of
chapters page to select the new
Markup basics chapter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Maybe, this could be
improved and a hyperlink direct to
the list of chapters (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html"
target="_blank">http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html</a>)
can be provided on the last section
of the chapter or every page in the
chapter, so that students can select
and change the chapter easily. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Secondly, Eloquent
javascript chapters are giving
Internal server errors. I tried
first few, they were all giving
errors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks<br>

text="#000000"> The Project
Bernie website has been updated
(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.projectbernie.org"
target="_blank">www.projectbernie.org</a>).
<br>
<br>
This site provides a
representative view of what a
school server loaded from BERNIE
provides <br>
to an XO at a deployment.<br>
<br>
The update releases the first
edition of the 'hands-on
computing' courses in the
Explore section of the Class
page.<br>
There is an introductory course
that introduces the Bash shell
in the Terminal Activity, shows
how to navigate the file system,
and use the nano text editor. It
is expected that learners would
work their way through this one
before beginning one of the
tracks.<br>
<br>
There are three tracks each
introducing a text programming
language: Python, Shell Scripts,
and Javascript (with HTML5 and
CSS3). <br>
<br>
There are two proposed projects
for GSOC15 which are intended to
augment the Web Technology
track: Web Confusion - the first
course and Interactive
Javascript Shell - the second
course. <br>
<br>
I would appreciate any feedback
so that the offerings can be
made more useful. Special thanks
