Why is there not an easily understood, step by step, instructional manual - an "OLPC for Idiots." Three computer literate individuals have tried to figure out how to use the OLPC computer, in a logical, constructive manner, and have failed.

The OLPC is a very good initiative for Africa, as we now living in a global village, our children will be able to access information and also to educate their parents on technology use.How can one get involved in this project because we a non-governmental organisation working with young people in and out of school.We would like our schools to benefit from this.

Think the innitiative is fantastic and wish that I could be assisted to help poor children in my community to have access to such resources. What do i need and will it cost me money to purchase and if so, how much for one laptop as I would like to promote ict literacy in my community. Would appreciate a responce or guidance to my request.

Thank you

Steven

There is a Tuxlab in Lavender Hill? Which school? I've been working with a media group in Vrygrond / Capricorn, and looking into various cheapo net options (mostly to benefit community based organisations on the flats, which suffer from hideously expensive communication options). Sadly that area, though close to Muizenberg, is still out of range of the mesh network that apparently exists in the 'berg (yes, I live there too - heard about the mesh from Tom Cleghorn).

Glad to hear Wizzy is moving along... I wish I had more time to stay involved with that kind of stuff. OLPC (I saw one at the Digital Expo at UWC) looks good, I'm particularly interested in the Sugar UI (which I wish was ported widely).

ANC elections - the Eye of the Needle - kaapstorm

I think the ANC is *unfortunate* that they don't have serious opposition. Serious opposition would help them deal with internal strife faster. It would unite their members in closer resolve against a serious contender. And if they needed to win voters over, the voters would benefit from a healthier party that is more likely to pay closer attention to their needs, and address them more swiftly.

LTSP in Gutsy is great, I played with it today. The new bootup process is super-sleek and fast. The new LDM (written in C) is much faster, although it has some slight usability problems. Overall, I'd say it's the best LTSP release yet- even better than 4.2. I'm *very* happy that they got rid of the dependency on NFS!

Also, I'm very happy to see Wizzy involved with Schoolwan, and that things are coming together so nicely. I remember you being a bit anti-wireless a while back :)
