Ed,<br><br>I hope that groups grow enough to create lists as well. But we dont want to segregate before achieve a critical mass. The Machine Ship discussions can take place on the languishing prepherial list, and any sort of museum conversation belongs on the library list.<br>
<br>But on the subject of these. One, could your reforward my response to the GIS question? I am not on most of those lists, or invite people to one of the olpc lists. Two, I think that we might have enough people/interest for a good email thread about low cost 3d printers, lathes, etc. Lets start talking.<br>

</div>Thank you.<br><br>I hope to be able to request GIS, museum, and machine shop lists in<br>the near future. I talked to Donald Norman (The Design of Everyday<br>Things) at a lecture he gave, and he said that he will bring up the XO<br>
in a meeting with the Exploratorium science museum people. I have<br>talked to other children's museums, and intend to do so again soon, as<br>soon as I can find out whether they will be allowed to buy XOs.<br><br>Also, can we do something to invite teachers in the laptop program<br>
into the discussion? Perhaps in multiple languages?<br><br>And children, too.<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>Edward Cherlin<br>End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business<br><a href="http://www.EarthTreasury.org/" target="_blank">http://www.EarthTreasury.org/</a><br>
