I've got lots of other questions, but they are more i18n related, so I'll forego inserting them into this design thread, but I can't resist throwing one out there. Is there currently a mechanism for re-creating the many xkb-based layouts already designed for OLPC that never got silkscreened? http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard_layouts cjl _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
