Here's the content development and programs update: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/eKindling_Content
I have Nepal's E-paath running on my XO and exploring how we can modify it for our use as a possible offline teaching portal (until they're ready for Karma). They currently have content for Grade 2 and 6, but some in Nepalese. There might be an earlier English only image we can use.We currently don't have smalltalk/squeak developers from the Philippines. I've pinged Richard Rowe to help out. Also learning Squeak on the side. Marife is currently exploring Moodle as a possible online teaching portal alternative. On my way to Squeakfest from August 10-12. I'll do a virtual meeting after I come back as part of eKindling:Discoveries Series.
