Looks good! A couple of notes...
On the XO side,
- new Activities may include with the m the ability to turn their own
"document" files into a PDF, so at activity-install time, you may want
to poke the activity metadata to extend the list of mimetypes handled.
- cups has lots of overhead and complication, if you find a simpler
way to print to PDF, it will be a big win
- once you have a Journal-based "PDF print queue", it will be easy to
push that into moodle or into other systems. I really like that.
On the XS side:
- Moodle + cups makes lots of sense.
- Happy to help design the moodle integration and user workflow.
- Good call on the quotas and teacher control.
cheers,
m
