[Fle3-users] New feature - any comments?

[Teemu Leinonen]

Hi all,

With Tarmo we are right now implementing a new feature to Fle3 and we 
would like to hear your comment of our design.

The idea is to have in the next release (in November) a "teacher's 
course announcement page" that is using cool blog technology (XML 
syndication, RSS, trackbacks, etc.)

By editing the CoreBlog Zope product I made a "functional dummy" of 
this. So, we would like to get your feedback, comments and ideas of the 
course announcement page. You can have a look of the dummy at:

The idea is that the course announcements page is available for any 
anonymous web users (of course, only if the Fle3 server is connected to 
Internet).

The teacher(s) of the course can add to the page three different kind of 
entries: Announcements, ToDos and Events. These entries are archived and 
categorized according to the category of each entry.

In the login page of the Fle3 instance there will also be a list (with 
links) of all the course announcements pages of the instance. When you 
create a new course as a teacher you can choose if there will be a 
course announcement page or not.

In the developer mailing list there are some discussion about the feature.

Let us know what do you think about this?

Best regards,

        - Teemu
