Subject: Controversies<br>To: OLPC-Open <<a href="mailto:Olpc-open@laptop.org">Olpc-open@laptop.org</a>>, OLPC Devel <<a href="mailto:Devel@lists.laptop.org">Devel@lists.laptop.org</a>>, <a href="mailto:olpc-chicago@lists.laptop.org">olpc-chicago@lists.laptop.org</a>, OLPC Sugar <<a href="mailto:sugar@lists.laptop.org">sugar@lists.laptop.org</a>>, OLPC Grassroots <<a href="mailto:grassroots@lists.laptop.org">grassroots@lists.laptop.org</a>><br>
Cc: Mitch Bradley <<a href="mailto:wmb@laptop.org">wmb@laptop.org</a>>, Nicholas Negroponte <<a href="mailto:nn@media.mit.edu">nn@media.mit.edu</a>><br><br><br>I have made a new Wiki page, <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Controversies" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Controversies</a>,<br>
with sections for the major arguments that we have been having over<br>
OLPC strategy and tactics. I have also included links to blog posts,<br>
mailing list threads, and interviews with Nicholas Negroponte.<br>
Additional topics and resources welcome.<br>
<br>
The purpose is not to promote my own view of things exclusively, but<br>
to let everybody involved see who said what when, and to state their<br>
own positions on the issues. I request that if you object to something<br>
stated on the page, that you say so on the talk page, and include a<br>
_brief_ statement of the issue from your point of view on the main<br>
page, together with a link to the original documents, or a note saying<br>
that it was a personal conversation, and how and where it took place.<br>
<br>
Interpretation is welcome. "When you say this, it sounds like you also<br>
mean that," is fine. But no edit wars, please. There is room for<br>
multiple points of view. I won't edit what you think if you don't try<br>
to tell me what I think. %-[<br>

<br>
Next question: Would anybody like us to take these arguments somewhere<br>
else? Maybe create a new Policy mailing list?<br>
