[OLPC library] Tentative Plans for Nepal's School Server and related infrastructure

[Bryan Berry]

Nepali wikipedia is great as an encyclopedia but not for storing source
documents. When you look at wikipedia it usually has external links for
source documents.

Also, many of the source documents may not be available under Creative
Commons Attribution-SA. We will push for CC-by every chance we get but a
lot of copyright holders will probably require the No
Derivatives-NonCommerical clauses.

Errr, not sure if I really follow but... Why not contribute the
material 
to the Nepali version of Wikipedia? Isn't that the primary source for 
content for the XO? This way everybody benefits.
