[OLPC India] Interesting Content : An opportunity for you to contribute

[JV Avadhanulu]

Dear Seth, Thank you for your offer.
Dear OLPC India Team, I don't have the right skills or background to explore 
this further.  Any takers to explore this deeper? I am specifically pose 
this to those who joined the OLPC India movement recently and looking for 
ways to engage/ contribute. It would be one of those things that would 
immediately be useful for the children preparing for public exams and could 
be an accelerator for OLPC.
Regards,
JV Avadhanulu
