Wish list

My Neighborhood restructuring

Structure My Neighborhood into zones. Want to be able to easily see things of interest. Not yet thought whether this needs tweaking to harmonize it with the Human Interface Guidlines

• Connection Zone
  • Access points and mesh networks compactly displayed in a small corner of the display.

• Radio Zone
  • Folks in the G1G1 community want to see strangers who appear in their physical neigborhood.

• Internet Community Zone
  • Students with a local mesh communities need to clearly see guests who are joining the from remote locations.

Hmm. Could create filters for all of the above.

• Filter Zone hides folks
  • not participating in any activity
  • not participating in an activity I'm sharing
  • not a member of a group I belong to
  • not a member of specific group
  • etc.

Distinguish these zones using

• Shading of the background
• Spatial arrangement

Learning Communities (Groups)

organized by:

• Geographic regions
• Age groups
• XO activity
• Language
• Curricular Topics
• Project
• Keyword
• etc.

Need to belong to multiple communities.

My School Server

my own school server

 I have downloaded OLPC_XS_LATEST.iso

would be great if there were service providers for most of the below

Services

Presence

We want to be part of larger community.

Presence service doesn't scale well. See OLPC News (Excerpts)

Will the scaling issues be solved, and will there be large servers to support the entire G1G1 community?

Or, will smaller communities have to form to spread out the load?

If so individual laptops will need connect to multiple presence servers?

In the meantime we are getting presence service from xochat.org

Backup

on local server for privacy?

Library/Publishing

hierarchy:

     school, district, region, country, global.

community based:

   different levels of peer and/or expert review.

what libraries will the G1G1 community have access to?

Cache

bandwidth:

• Have cable modem in MX,
• Qwest ISDN in New Mexico, US.
• cache might help even with only a couple users over a congested 128K link.
• probably put school server at friend's with cable modem.
• no bottleneck when all laptops are connecting via dsl or better.
