[Olpc-open] Getting paper out of schools.

Ed, I think the issue isn't that postscript CAN'T be used to format properly
for the target device.  It is that it ISN'T being used.  The PDF documents I
have seen that are made available with and pointed to the XO are NOT
formatted for the XO display.  Presumably this is because there was an
attempt to provide pre-existing resources or that OLPC had no access to the
source documents to regenerate the PDF files.  This would be a good
volunteer activity, I think.

If we had a structured catalog of the electronic materials being suggested
for / distributed with the XO, we could systematically go after doing this.
The Wiki is totally inappropriate for this type of application.  Anyone
interested in this?
