I have made a new Wiki page, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Controversies, with sections for the major arguments that we have been having over OLPC strategy and tactics. I have also included links to blog posts, mailing list threads, and interviews with Nicholas Negroponte. Additional topics and resources welcome.
The purpose is not to promote my own view of things exclusively, but to let everybody involved see who said what when, and to state their own positions on the issues. I request that if you object to something stated on the page, that you say so on the talk page, and include a _brief_ statement of the issue from your point of view on the main page, together with a link to the original documents, or a note saying that it was a personal conversation, and how and where it took place. Interpretation is welcome. "When you say this, it sounds like you also mean that," is fine. But no edit wars, please. There is room for multiple points of view. I won't edit what you think if you don't try to tell me what I think. %-[ "When I want to hear _your_ opinion, I'll TELL it to you."--any tyrant Next question: Would anybody like us to take these arguments somewhere else?
