[Olpc-open] [OLPC library] Suggestion for Terms of Use for content

[Seth Woodworth]

We need a system to categorize our data like in your links Carol, and I
agree that the current state of the wiki is pretty bad.  But if you look at
projects like Wiki-Commons, or free-reading, a wiki *can* be a lot better
organized.  We just don't have enough dedicated and informed people to fix
the wiki.  Information doesn't spread well yet.
