I don't know what you mean by narrative. If I were to pick a word to describe libraries, online tutorials, wikipedia, and other similar resources, I would choose "information". I go to wikipedia to learn facts, not stories. I agree that providing information is good and important for education. I don't see how OLPC or Sugar lacks tools to provide information. Including a digital textbook into a Sugar build for XO is extremely easy. ~ We simply don't have the textbooks. The problem, in this case, seems much more like a lack of "content" and translators. That effort is important and worthwhile, but seems quite independent of Sugar. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjoXcEACgkQUJT6e6HFtqR3awCgg4lNrxa3nTDLVf1NIATAgwdF ymEAn1DJ7qaNwIHgirT32K00Gj2ufEKI =XKff -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
