[IAEP] 70 minute interview with Bryan Berry on XO deployment in Nepal

[Carol Farlow Lerche]

Sayamindu has ported fbreader to the XO, but it is Sugar .82 and is not yet
in SOAS or a.sl.o.  It reads epub format among others, which is to be found
on many of the free sites.  I made the following XO style library bundle of
the Newbery medal winning children's books by women authors from the UPenn
site, and it is still experimental in aslo because it needs recommendations,
but recommendations require that you have the reader.

Yes, it is in English.  I know there is a lot of classic Spanish language
content out there that could be packaged as well, because I gathered it as a
resource for my daughter's AP Spanish Literature class a few years back.

I have a detailed lesson plan and student materials bundle for a wonderful
literacy activity using write and browse that I want to load (teacher tested
-- contributed by my daughter the teacher -- and I could make more) , but we
need a category for lesson plans so someone would know to look for it.

We're so close to being able to start loading content, but seem to get
sidetracked into discussions of better content formats and other "perfect is
the enemy of the good" topics every time.
