I like it :-) What about a Flat Meerkat (ie people print off a copy of a meerkat color it etc) and then take it with them to tell their "Flat" Meerkat story. My kids had to do "Flat Stanley" stories and my husband and I have been the recipient of many Stanleys to hang out with us for a couple of days and tell his story. To find out more about the Flat Stanley project and how it works to better understand what I mean go to: http://www.flatstanley.com/ ( This could also be a way to get kids involved with it - and every cycle we can change out the animals and keep a running list of the Ubuntu Animals stories throughout each cycle etc. Either way let's add stories to a wiki and either have Postcards to Rick or Flat Meerkat stories to share with the Community. Let me know how I can help :-) Amber -- Amber Graner//akgraner// http://akgraner.com/ http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu Need help with Ubuntu?
