[K12OSN] Wish list summary verison 0.0.1

[Debbie Schiel]

YES! "1) Simple administration tools similar to those available on OSX 
management console. i.e. ability to assign applications to groups of 
users or to individual users." (a post from Norbert)

As I work in a primary school, the ideal would be to have a lot more 
control over what students can use and access:

- control over what students see on the net (easy dansguardian install)

- plus the ability to restrict the apps (in the menu not just desktop 
icons) available to different year groups

- plus the ability to stop kids fiddling around with menus & desktop 
background settings when they should be getting on with work... is there 
a way to disable the right click menu on desktop and taskbars?

OH, and a DRIVER FOR SCSI ADAPTEC AIC-79xx. Otherwise we won't be able 
to use 4.2.0. and all its lovely new goodies... *sniff*

Thanks,

Debbie
