Use that also but community driven images may be a good way to test things for feedback before things get official. > - Have you engaged OLPC or another party to work on changes? I try to and the best things is I get some help along the way for a little DIY with my limited technical skills. > - What direction do you believe the builds should go? 1. To make the XO multi-media ready :-) or provide scripts that we can just run to for enabling multi-media experience with the XO. Hate to see spinning "wheels without images :-( 2.
