since that is what it was made for?
(apart from the feature requests which will be taken care of at some

Some thoughts from a QA perspective:
I consider the 100 laptops that I budgeted, ordered and help install in
Peabody to be the QA "collaboration testbed", which is expected to be used
to recreate problems from the field and test out next release solutions.
Since we had to dismantle Peabody, most o

I understand this.
Honestly, I'm getting very burned out over the politicking here.
Ricardo, Polychronis, and the Nortel guys seem to be the ones doing
the real heavy lifting here on the mesh network. When they ask for
something, I think we should give it to them. Ricardo and Polychronis
agree that a sparse network

It was lost from the plan when Peru decided to deploy without servers.
I believe we convinced them otherwise, but it seems that "reality"
hasn't caught up with the plan.

The Glucose modules[1] from Sucrose 0.81.2 went into the olpc image

There seems to be two problems for a speed reading activity in the XO.
The first is that some of those technologies are patent encumbered, but
it seems that the main technology or concept behind speed reading,
called rapid serial visual presentation, it's either patent free or free
of royalties. So

one of the things that got me started reading well was that at an early
age I went to a school that had a speed reading activity. it had light
cardstock sheets that you ran through a machine that moved them at the
appropriate speed through a ~4-5 line window and the student would take a
quiz on
'olpc-update -f joyride-2024' does not work for me (from 653 or 708). Error

fine.

By not too hard, I meant, not completely impossible. I was given a little
bit of info on the board because I promised Wad that I wouldn't get other
people to bother him about it :S
At least I didn't post the hardware list to my blog!
