[Wolves] topic for wed online meeting jitsi - Fwd: learning android on linux

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Hi Chris, Mark,

I agree with what Chris said.

I will not be on the online meeting but...

Mark: there are many technologies to do what I think that you described.
And some off the shelf (I'm not familiar with the off the shelf
solutions for the problem that you described).

A way to implement it: using Django web framework. But do have a look
and see how you feel best!
(Django has an admin panel and might get you part there... or might not,
depends many things!)
