[Sugar-devel] Haiti dormant (was Re: Sugar as desktop os)

 We're located in Haiti.

Excellent. I had a hand in getting Kreyol localization started.

 Sorry I left that off. And before anyone asks
 :-) we're not part of the pilot that was scheduled to begin in Haiti
 last year. I briefly worked with them. As far as I can tell, after
 the last cabinet shuffle, the project has gone dormant. Officially, I
 don't know why. Unofficially, the new Minister of Education does not
 like anything started by the previous one. Or so it seems.

Did the laptops get distributed first? If not, where are they?

No the laptops were not distributed as far as I know. As to where 
they are, the information is not public so I don't know. 

 Excellent. I had a hand in getting Kreyol localization started.

It's such a small world. :-)

I got involved too at the beginning but the effort seemed to have 
fizzled very quickly, based on zero activity on the mailing list. 
Perhaps the effort went elsewhere and I did not notice.
