Tony,
I don't want to speak for the teachers in Nepal, but I think, Speaking as
an educator, that more real data is better than the red light green light
scenario you propose.
I would be happy to participate in the design if that would be helpful.

This is very interesting.
I have a kind of related question. Has there been any work done for a
non-internet based email server (and XO based client)?
I know that Tony Anderson (now in Rwanda) is working in a school with no
internet access, but with the need for email-type communication.
Thanks.
Sameer,
Thanks for doing this work.
Here are some thoughts In the deployment I have been managing we have used
the server in two ways:
1. As a jabber server only. We have about 140 XO-1s, and without the jabber
server, the cross-talk slowed down the devices dramatically when more than

I wanted to share that we have faced the same criticisms in our school
regarding the XOs. For the last four years, the teachers and students have
complained that the devices do not connect well or reliably to our wireless
network.
Obviously, in our case, we have a wireless network and essentially

Caryl,
I have been able to make this work. Here's what I did:
1. Create an ad-hoc network on one of the 1.5s.
2. Connect to it on the 1.0s.
3. Open Chat and make public.
Hope this helps.

Hi...
Caryl,
Once you connect to one of the ad-hoc networks, you will see the
familiar parentheses surrounding it. Then, in the Neighborhood View on
the the XOs, this network should appear as a wireless device.
I would start troubleshooting by going o Settings and turning the
radio off and then on
The adhoc network looks like any other wireless device.
Do check the version.
I think I had to start the chat on the 1.5, but I am not sure.
