• benchmark with other mini laptops like the ASUS EEE: how to make the perfect mini laptop? (i think this point has been raised by Frits Hoff. Just received the link to this review: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/17/review_xo_laptop_hands_on/ Bine 14:49, 21 January 2008 (EST))
• Dutch open content, what is available, who is willing to develop more? For example the 30 free courses of the Open University of the Netherlands, www.opener.ou.nl
• free educational games in the Dutch market, what is available, who is willing to develop more?
• start asap the G1G1 initiative in the Netherlands, good combination with Christmas gifts
• use the media to reach the government: what is their opinion? Are they willing to participate?
• publish in the media
• pilots in education, on several levels [1]
• Could we make some user instruction video´s like this youtube_link, for various types of users (kids, teachers, parents), based on a transcript (so it can easily be translated)? I think it would help having this type of vid's in pressentations, and for first time users. What tools (e.g.[2])would this involve and how do we facilitate making and hosting these instruction vid's. Perhaps even known problemens could be explained this way (watch and learn).
