    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>
    <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>

              </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>

                                        page.<br>
                                        There is an introductory course

                                        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>

                                        language: Python, Shell Scripts,
