Based on Tony's presentations and what I'm hearing from Nepal I suggest we should recruit combination Content Writing and Content Curator/Librarian. There is a lot of free content for various grade levels, languages etc, content created by different deployments. Someone who learns whats available in different content areas and thinks about how to use it with sugar activities and Moodle/XS and communicates that out to deployments is at least as valuable as writing new content.
