Well, it sometimes even feels as if the bureaucracy is artificially  
held up. By now I do know many people in and around OLPC personally,  
and I can't think of anybody actively sabotaging the educational  
goals, but I still get the feeling sometimes. Like with the new  
"olpc3" build, which includes just the Chat, Journal, Paint, Read,  
Record, Web, and Write activities. I'm so tired of fighting for the  
educational activities (TamTam, Etoys, TurtleArt, etc.) to be included  
by default.
