content distribution. It's text only for now, but very cool:

The Mumbai hackathon was awesome and really productive, with lots of
improvements to internationalization, mobile (including SMS delivery)
and offline content distribution. Thanks to everyone on this list who

We'll be doing lots of additional mobile hacking at the India

Well said, Hisham, Srikeit at al. Nobody's asking for rah-rah

As GerardM noted the other day, we're planning a hackathon adjacent to
