You can almost tell that he is pretty much the only guy who is
interested in supporting outside developers.
That isn't fair. I speak on behalf of the entire OLPC team when I say
that we're extremely interested in supporting outside developers.
There's no question about it,

Oh, good. You weren't simply trying to flame the discussion after
