I'm not sure why you say that, who is dropping support for the XO-1? I'm just pointing out that we need help coordinating the effort of doing new releases. > It is not logical, does not make sense to drop the biggest user base Sugar > has, except when we account for human feelings of pain and betrayal that > accompany the lore involving OLPC and such.

Even then I don't think it will make sense to dump aside all the learning potential of the XO-1 machines. It's true that today the needed resources are not in the place where need to be, but I see this as just an accident that will be solved at some point. > I understand what you say, Tomeu, and I am grateful for it.

Why the outside? olpc-nz and the support gang are outsiders? I personally don't think that I should drop my current responsibilities and take this instead, but you could be a good candidate to lead the effort ;) We "just" need someone to keep track of what has been done, what is still to be done, which items are owned and which are for grabs, etc. No in-depth knowledge of anything is needed, just coordinate the different efforts that are already going on and advertise the areas that need help.
