[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 129, Issue 12

[Tony Anderson]

IAEP has become nearly moribund with our current emphasis on 
developer-developer communication. I think this discussion should remain 
on IAEP to remind the subscribers that this is fundamentally an 
educational project not a software development project.

As I understand it, olpc is ok but OLPC belongs to OLPC. Olpc 2.0 came 
from TK's summit in Malaysia and had nothing to do with OLPC or 
hardware. It was a reference to a new direction for the project.
