Well ... there is some documentation on the school servers on the Wiki, and as I understand it the school server software is "less baked" than what's on the XO. Again, though, there has always been a "developer program" through which people could receive hardware for testing when they needed it. > I understand that I was privileged to get hardware in the US and am willing > to find workarounds and am doing so.

Well, I think that the geek community too has always been there and always ready to help. Now a lot of us (putting on my geek hat) won't go near anything from Apple, Microsoft or Texas Instruments on a volunteer basis. :) But give us Linux or Ruby or Apache or Moodle or Python and we'll be there. :) _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
