View source for OLPC growing pains

The entire OLPC team is interested in supporting outside developers.  
There's no question about it, and there never was.

What's also true is that -- so far -- we've been building a platform (both Sugar and the distro)  
with heavy low-level development taking place in parallel with high- 
level activity development. This is tricky, with the usual resource constraints and  
timelines. As a result, we haven't been as good as we could be about  
leveraging the community and outside developers. This should improve as underlying  
platform development begins to stabilize and our focus turns  
increasingly towards activities and other consumers of our platform  and APIs.

[[Communities]] are springing up in many languages and places; feel free to join one and get involved where you see fit; or
to list your own groups there.
