Thanks René, I'll be blogging about the project at http://eclecti.cc/olpc
Thanks for the svn offer. I'm going to be in a country with spotty internet access for most of the summer, so I'm going to be working on a local svn or git repository. It could be useful for me to mirror my work on pygame's svn though. I somehow missed pygame.transform completely. Based on the functions in it, it seems to be the best place for the vision functions I want to add.
