Thus I suspect the issue is the nodes

For generating them, you could do something more like an ink-jet.

Hi Alex,
That's assuming that non-OLPC developers will have access to
hardware before it will be declared ready for deployment. Otherwise
it will be like G1G1 -- first batch to outside developers coincides
with first mass deployment, then everyone complains

The 'what it will be' statement is usually derived from (and guided

Step 1 (the 'what it must be') is the list of Requirements.
From the requirements we can dual track derive the possible
