Thanks Walter,
Does this mean you have approved Uzbec, Pashto, French Canadian, and Kazakh?
I am aware of the need for final approval of Italian, Khmer, and Napali.
Quanta is sending these keyboards to OLPC this week.

In the past when Quanta sends a first article for approval, do we need to
match that up against the design from the wiki page? Or do you recommend
some other step(s) for final approval?

Thanks,
Kim
