We, in India, have been closely following the developments on the Bluesky front. We had earlier experimented with the server-client version of Bluesky. I had made a visit when kevin was there. But this could not be implemented in India because it required specific hardware and the client-server systems are no more in fashion. We have been anxiously awaiting a beta version of the web-based version of Bluesky. This will be very useful for us as a part of the portal we have created for school teachers and students. My suggestion is that if you can bring out a simpler version first of web-based RealClass in the first phase and then add more features to it. Even if you have a version that works for one teacher and one student first= , that will be useful here. wishing you all the best raghavan 2011/6/24 SamuelKevin > Hi, all: > As you all see.
