Here's the content development and programs update:<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/eKindling_Content">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/eKindling_Content</a><br><br>I have Nepal's E-paath running on my XO and exploring how we can modify it for our use as a possible offline teaching portal (until they're ready for Karma). They currently have content for Grade 2 and 6, but some in Nepalese. There might be an earlier English only image we can use.We currently don't have smalltalk/squeak developers from the Philippines. I've pinged Richard Rowe to help out. Also learning Squeak on the side. <br>
<br>Marife is currently exploring Moodle as a possible online teaching portal alternative.<br><br>On my way to Squeakfest from August 10-12. I'll do a virtual meeting after I come back as part of eKindling:Discoveries Series. <br>

</div>Actually none yet. We just email within ourselves. An organizational<br>
list is in my todo. It's because the past few weeks we've been pretty<br>
