Hi,
I had an idea, has anyone ever seen/used EyeOS?
Could this webbased desktop be put into a moodle module, something like "My Desktop" or as an extention to My Moodle?

Just a thought,

Also not an expert but yes it is open source and I have it up and running on the same server as Moodle.
As for intergration I think this would be tricky as eyeOS uses files instead of databases and is actually nowhere near as complex as moodle. It would be a great first step if somebody could get eyeOS to use the moodle database to authenticate it's users but there is actually a lot of overlap when you start digging around but a moodle desktop with the OS X theme would be very cool indeed.

I would welcome a desktop environment for moodle. Even more if it could save the state each time you log off. It could be an optional extention to My Moodle or as a seperate module for students to organise their work in each course.
Perhaps EyeOS, being opensource would be kind enought to help us?
I guess it would be hard to integrate it with Moodle, I'm not a developer, so I cant be of much use
.
Anyone want to give it a try?
