Ed, I really struggle w/ this myself. I have a lot of trouble communicating what we are doing in Nepal and finding out what others are up to. We need to facilitate better communication b/w the pilot countries, OLPC, and volunteers. I suspect that the solution is only partly technical. OLPC really needs a full-time community manager. SJ currently is the community manager and director of Content. He just has way too much on his plate.
OLPC should really consider hiring a full-time Community Manager. That person would need to understand both the open-source hacker community and field educators who don't use IRC, wikis, etc. but really care about kids. -- Bryan W.

We also need some way to get information from children with laptops about the "user experience". Better still, we need to bring children into this conversation and into the writing projects. Could we talk about how to provide better information for each other? -- Edward Cherlin End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business http://www.EarthTreasury.org/ "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."--Alan Kay ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Library mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library
