Why is this project needed? Polish is important for first-time impressions

Locally? N/A

In the greater OLPC/Sugar community? Will improve the experience of every day users and will make it easier to create a good impression when demoing the machines with Sugar.

Outside the community? N/A

Why can't this project be done in emulation using non-XO machines? Some polishing is specific to the machine.

Why are you requesting the number of machines you are asking for? No need for more than one, will test collaboration with the other machines that I have available

Will you consider (1) salvaged/rebuilt or (2) damaged XO Laptops? But only fully functional, please
