[OLPC India] Is a list of features being enabled for OLPC adoption in India available ?

[Walter Bender]

This seems to be a very good approach.

BTW, in regard to keyboards and local language support, we (OLPC) is
prepared to make multiple keyboards for India. To date, we have
Devanagari and Urdu. To request another keyboard, please add a comment
to the http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:OLPC_Keyboard_layouts discussion
page.

regards.
