[IAEP] [Testing] [support-gang] 12-Year-Old XOs (even 18-yesr-olds)

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Again,
The OLPC wiki didn't come up on my google search for OFW.  At least, not on the first page.  Is there a glossary on our wiki that  links to pages with definitions? If there isn't, there should be.  A lot of folks don't know the jargon.... yet!
