XS Community Edition/0.4/Road Map

Summary

School Server - Community Edition (XSCE) is volunteer projected designed to be easily adopted by OLPC deployments or other service providers for deployment in schools. Initial development is driven by motivated micro-deployments and mid-sized deployments.

Objective

The primary objective for School Server Community Edition 0.4 will be to increase stability of the existing code base to ease future development and maintenance while reducing the learning curve for potential developers and users. The secondary will be to increase configurability. Several deployments have been using various school servers for several years. Their needs are well understood. With the release of XSCE 0.4, deployments using existing School Server variants should be able to start rebasing on XSCE.

Scope and aim

The goal is to make a XSCE version which can serve as an wireless access point for a school with several extended features as listed at User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.4/Project_Specifications
