I am convinced that the Red Hat and IBM models are more relevant. We
can accept contracts from governments, NGOs, or international aid
agencies for customized versions of Sugar, including hiring or
contracting with professional localizers and translators, and
developing materials for whatever curriculum needs they feel most
strongly. Earth Treasury will be making similar proposals to
Ministries of Education for digital textbooks.

You can wait for the volunteers to do your subjects in your languages,
or join the paid queue.
