[Fle3-dev] Course announcement: functional dummy

[Teemu Leinonen]

Hi all,

By editing the CoreBlog Zope product I made a "functional dummy" of the 
course announcement page - the one discussed earlier in the mailing 
list. Have a look of the past discussion at:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fle3-dev/2004-07/threads.html

So, I would like to get your feedback, comments and ideas of the course 
announcement page. You can have a look of the dummy, at:

http://turing.uiah.fi:9673/blog/

The idea is that the course announcements page is available for any 
anonymous web users (of course only in 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.

The announcement functionality is build on top of the CoreBlog 
(http://coreblog.org/), that is a Zope product for having weblog. 
Because of this you may syndicate the content with XML, read the page 
with your favourite blog reader, trackback etc. Comments to entries are 
not allowed, as the idea is that the "knowledge building" does not 
end-up to here but stays inside Fle3.

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 you can choose if there will be a course 
announcement page.

Let us know what do you think about this?
