These are critical questions? I had the same questions when I "joined the list". There should be an all out effort to simplify the fund-raising and deployment aspect of OLPC. Someone help, please.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I've cc'd the olpc-philippines mailing list on these questions, as<br>
they're the best people to answer yours (folks, can you help Cherry out?<br>
I'm a bit swamped at the moment) but I would also note that we're<br>
probably much less centralized than you think we are. ;-)<br>

Welcome!<br>
