They need help getting it configured. This is the advice they have so far:
> The workflow (where the Mac server comes in) is a bit more involved.
> > The server acts as the repository for staff to leave teaching
> materials and
> > as the location where students 'drop' (save) their assignments (PANDA
> > files).
> >
> > In Bristol the English Centre for Deaf Studies, actually have three
> shared folders:
> > 1. Staff Area (folder) - this is used for exam videos, coursework they
> > don't want to be seen by students
> > 2. Teaching Materials - which acts as a repository for

Anyone who is competent with this stuff and wants the work should
contact me. I don't know the amount they can pay, but I'm sure you
can negotiate if you know what's involved already.
Take care,
Carl
