Hi friends,

B4s are out and we are gearing towards Software and Content Freeze for Trial
2.

Work on the content release for the school server is going on and an active
participation from the volunteers to help script downloads of material
from various sources will be highly appreciated. Some examples of different
sources of content are Wikimedia Commons Atlas, useful Flickr CC-BY pics, a
dump of Wikipedia in 5 languages* .... . The scripts authored must preserve
the license and the author data.

If you know people interested in helping with this, kindly email  SJ Klein,
Director of Content, OLPC Inc. at sj at laptop.org and me: Manusheel Gupta at
manu at laptop.org. Also, please add your name here:

We already have some Perl scripts ready for the same. An example of the
output when they are run:

Looking forward for some great participation!
