[Building Sakai] any progress on a lock down browser

[Dave Ross]

Eric,

Makes sense. I believe Firefox may have a kiosk mode that could be
utilized for this - but I'd be interested if the Samigo (Tests and
Quizzes) or Mneme (Test Center) folks have had any feature requests in
this area...

Thanks!

-Dave
