Implementing "Captive Portal" functionality (for those who can't easily type URL's in a Latin script etc, similar to WiFi pages that appear when you connect in airports/hotels/restaurants) has proved very challenging. We could use assistance in this ongoing effort to get it right!

SOME OTHER PROPOSED FEATURES ARE LISTED IN THE JANUARY 17, 2017 MEETING MINUTES @ http://tinyurl.com/xsceminutes (and under March 16, 2017 @ http://minutes.iiab.io)

Please join our weekly "Thursday" calls to help push this forward -- educators and contributors of all kind are welcome:
