I'll list a grab bag of project ideas in this email. Some of these<br>
are high priority, some are low, some have OLPC people working on<br>
them, some do not. The list is certainly not complete! Please<br>
respond to this email to list things I've left out or projects you're<br>
currently exploring, or to express interest. I've tried to list some<br>
email addresses by each idea of OLPC folk who are interested or could<br>
give more information.<br>
<br>
(Help wiki-fying this list would be appreciated! See<br>
