I had the opportunity to talk to several grassroots groups over the
last month or so.  They all seem to be in a similar state of
discontent -- and rightfully so, given the things I was told.

Disbanding is an option.  Waiting idle to see what happens is
another one.  But I liked OLPC Austria's strategy above all: they
had this vision of spreading constructionist learning in Austrian
schools and elsewhere...  With or without the support of OLPC,
they are going to continue this ambitious educational project.

succeed.
