*I* am available :) This is one of my top priorities in the next 6 months.

If OLPC makes someone with X experience (or willing to learn!)
available for this task I'm sure we will go faster. But regardless,
it's time to tackle the issue seriously and I'm convinced we can make
big progresses on it, like we are doing with memory usage.
