Sorry, I should have clarified that I was referring to the keyboard only. I 
think the difference between the current olpc keyboard and a customized Maori 
one will be minor. We'll replace the æ œ ̬  ̣  ̭  characters with the macron 
vowels. I don't think this will present any problems if we make it difficult to 
reverse until a Maori keyboard and a keyboard chooser are built into the 
operating system.

I don't know how to do the windows style grave modifier on linux and for 
consistency with other Linux Maori keyboards, I think alt-gr - vowel will be a 
better starting place than the default setup.

Switching the rest of the laptop to other languages is a different matter and I 
wouldn't propose to stop that!
