A funded project for a single-purpose build would not be as valuable as adding a component to it that included improving documentation (and possibly toolchain) of the custom-build process in such a way that it is more easily repeated by others. That way it is an investment in a repeatable process, not a single product. Just a thought. cjl _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep
