Ed, u r 100% on as usual.
I believe we should work for tools that can help all languages, and then
people can load their own preferred choices, avoiding an image issue of
OLPC taking a stand that could be misconstrued by those who love to
misconstrue. Those people don't care about reason, logic or the
inevitability of History or whether it helps kids or not - but in some
places they are quite powerful and need to be reckoned with, for fouling
is still easier than building.
>> What I suggest is that as a team to focus in the _tools_. Dictionaries,
>> interactive tools (HablarConSara, etc). Those can then be loaded with
>> local language packs, and eventually, and as a local decision, other
>> languages, which of course are not limited to English.
