These are services which the School server might provide. Services already deemed essential are listed separately.
Please help by adding links to existing pages discussing these topics, if you are aware of them
SIP Directory
A SIP directory should be provided for XO laptop owners. This doesn't have to be implemented locally on the School server, although the same management interface used for security on the laptops might be a convenient place to manage this directory as well.
Instant Messaging
Should a separate Instant Messaging service be hosted by the School server?
News
Should the School server support student/teacher/school Blogs?
Should the school server support Forums ?
Video
While static video objects, such as movies and short clips, may be stored and accessed using the Library service, local distribution of live video requires a dedicated service.
Aside from this, much of the long tail video distribution may be best handled by P2P clients directly on the laptops. Discussion ?
Collaborative/Publishing/Learning Management System
Moodle could be an option? http://moodle.org
Exchanging published work with other communities could be done using a usb, taking a class portfolio (using moodle pages) to another village. Distance collaboration can also be done in an asynchronous way, where each school has its page or set of pages in moodle, and it would work like standard mail, travelling by land to another school, kids contributing, commenting, peer-assessing, and then back again.
Webware
It can also work as a webware provider, extending the software offer in each laptop.
