[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 97, Issue 52

[Tony Anderson]

The Khan Academy Lite site seems to be similar in purpose to that of 
SugarLabs.

It might be good for comparison: https://learningequality.org/ka-lite/.

In this context, perhaps, the XO is one of the supported platforms. The 
site could give download and install instructions for major
platforms: Windows, Ubuntu, Fedora, XO.

At the moment, we have an initiative to re-create the site as part of 
GSOC as well as the initiative to weed the wiki but the two tasks should 
be considered together to provide a coherent end product.
