In Greece we've been developing a tool called "sch-scripts" for school
administration. First, we put classroom management functionalities and
after we tested it for a couple of years, we internationalized it and
www.epoptes.org was born.
Now in sch-scripts we're putting user management functionalities, mass
user creation + assigning them to classes (groups), import users from
.csv, shared rw folders for students, ro published folders for
teachers etc etc.
We've been thinking to do the same as with epoptes again, i.e. to
first develop it in Greek, and after it gets tested for about a year,
to internationalize it and try to push it into the Debian/Ubuntu
archives.
But if enough people are interested to try this on 12.04, we could
develop it directly in English and support localization...
About ltsp-pnp (that was one of our school-oriented efforts too), it's
the same as LTSP, i.e. the fat clients are using the server image like
a ...bootable usb disk: not all of it is downloaded to the client nor
is it written locally. The OS only reads the sectors it needs each time.
Hi Alkis,
I have tried Epoptes and really loved it. Excellent work! Your planned
development for sch-scripts is also very interesting and will sure
benefit the community. I think with these user management tools ltsp
will become even more popular with schools and other organizations that
do not have advanced linux admin skills. I hope there will be more
people interested to co-develop with you. looking forward
Regards,
Faisal
