XS Community Edition/5.0/Road Map

This IIAB XSCE content does not reflect the opinion of OLPC. These pages were created by members of a volunteer community supporting OLPC and deployments.

Summary

School Server Community Edition (XSCE) is volunteer project which provides communication, networking, content, and maintenance capabilities to a school and or classroom. It is designed to be easily adopted by existing OLPC deployments or other similar education projects.

Objective

The primary objective for XSCE version 0.5 will be [scaling the project?] The objectives for releases 0.1 to 0.4 were [quite narrowly defined?] because of the need to establish a stable foundation while modularizing the structure. This eases development and maintenance while reducing the learning curve for potential developers and users.

[Deployments using existing School Server variants should be able to start rebasing on XSCE 0.5?] Several deployments have been using school servers for several years. Their needs are well understood. Their feedback is invaluable.

Scope and aim

The goals of XSCE 0.5 will be found at Project Specifications.
