There are at least 2 plans for writing one. One for user-self-administration and the other for admin or teacher tasks. It is not difficult to develop such desktop application, because the CipUX framework can be accessed in two ways: 1) over the CipUX::Task API, means over the command line. But 2) is better I think: over CiPUX XML-RPC, that give the freedom to choose whatever implantation language you would like to have. > having a web interface as optional add-on is nice but i'd really prefer > something like > https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/edubuntu-network-auth-server I did not look to much into details, but for me it looks like a client an the cipux-rpc server ... > we'll take webmin and cipux into consideration during the discussion at > mountainview though... No, CipUX is not depending on webmin. You have the choice to use webmin, but you don't have to. For now you have the 4 administration tools: * cipux-cat-webmin (ok that uses webmin, but don't install it if you don't want) * cipuxPHP (Moodle plugin, you know what Moodle is right?) * CipUX::Task (command line interface with over 120 commands!) * cipux-cat-web (new web tool for a web server, NOT webmin) And I know at least from an other project .... :) which I am looking at with tense! So why not take CipUX and develop a gtk or qt application for it? Then you have only 20% of the work. And ! the teachers will love you, because they have not to learn a new GUI when they switch the school. (Assuming it is installable under Debian or Debian-Edu.)
