All goodies (plugins) and Apps will now have to be "sponsored" @USD1000-2000 to feed the offical team whilst the real public developer pours his mite into it!

And an OS running a web browser running a WebOS - seems a bit silly. Reinventing the already out of date desktop metaphore within the web browser ... unless you are running something like GoogleOS ... hmm Anyway - check out the plans for EyeOS's next major release. They sound really good. eyeOS looks like fun, but I found you could not use it part of the time (say – when you are out of the office) and then get to and edit your files with anything else.

I installed a demo on my hosted server and added the neccessary translation file very easily. In my demo the advanced uploader isn't working but the simple uploader is, this means that while students wouldn't be able to work on word processor docs within the platform, they could upload and download as needed in order to work with them in the native platform.

Version 1.3 RC2 disagreed with my servers mod_secure ruleset, so I am giving stable a go today. It should be easy enough to hack a few files to change the terminology to something more school appropriate. Just edit the appropriate files in the language directory. If it works out, I'll start work on tweaking for education. Funny you should mention that, because OpenGoo 1.2.1 uploading as we speak.

However, it is very business oriented - I had to call myself a "company" & had the options to add other "companies" & to bill them. Wonder if anyone's working on a tweak for educators?
