Waveplace is a really cool project; when I look at the way it is organized it feels like it could be a really good thing for other groups to emulate, in terms of the way it tells the story. There is a Waveplace Foundation and it feels like a very important strategic OLPC project; they are right in the middle of developing materials for a pilot. The
U.S. Virgin Islands is in some ways like the developing world, but within the U.S.They've certainly suffered enough under 500 years of colonial oppression. -- the Caribbean people have a wonderful creative spirit and I hope the project goes well.
<br><br>If you develop an Interest in Waveplace, maybe you could create a little wiki page - there might already be one, not sure. hopefully there's something that responds to "waveplace" in the <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org">
wiki.laptop.org</a> search box. Seems like an important thing to support -- headed by a bright tech expert who can articulate well and who has a good heart -- and them going through all the tech required, developing training materials, etc. -- seems like it will help everyone else in a great way, and make a good contribution.
