[Grassroots-l] localization of the keyboard in the context of the G1G1EU

Hi Holger,

That is the reflexion at olpc-deutschland, which I referred to. In France,
Quanta told us that we should wait approx. 3 months for the manufacturing
process. I don't remember the price figure, but it will be certainly too high
for us as grassrootlers.

This is why we have to examine alternative options.

Bests,
