Greg S Weekly Report Week Ending November 21

[Greg Smith]

Weekly report for Greg Smith.

*******************
User link of the week (English):
http://blog.stone-head.org/olpc-peru-a-silent-revolution/

Includes a review of XOs in rural Peru with insightful comment on the 
cultural context. On the technical side, the teacher and kids completely 
missed the XO's Collaboration capabilities! Worse, he assumes that our 
collaboration allows users to easily move files from one XO to another, 
something that is not available in the GUI right now.

******************
Status of last weeks goals:

1 - Update roadmap page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap
Follow up with deployments to verify priorities. Get a second level of
detail from deployments on what they need.

GS - Partially done. Lots more to go.
