In my opinion the Wikimedia Foundation can best help the OLPC project and education in general by concentrating on developing teaching materials, lesson plans and related software - as Wikiversity and Wikibooks are already doing. We should cooperate with the OLPC project but not try to take it over. Filceolaire 14:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

OLPC deployments

Apparently the OLPC project has discontinued support of small deployments anyway. --Fasten (Wikinews: Aktion Deutschland Hilft asks for donations after the earthquake in Indonesia) 09:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Of course one could partner with http://www.computeraid.org/, http://www.reuse-computer.de/ or a computer vendor to accomplish the same (Apple, Dell and Microsoft for instance have school programs). --Fasten (Wikinews: Aktion Deutschland Hilft asks for donations after the earthquake in Indonesia) 09:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
