On your page it was stated that all programs do not work on all builds. Do you have any theory as to why? Could it be that the over all OLPC system of programs has not valued any one common file to make the transaction as systems do make transcations with in their own platforms. |

Ditto for other platform/format sources : moodle and plone modules and activities, for instance. |

If you were to try this you have to pick a set or group of 3 to five files as one group. They can be any thing except system files or image files. They should have realted extentions and it is best if they appear together in one folder or bundle. Then just through out the builders group exknowldge that this is what it's for. If you want to try this we have a hiddden platform already in place that will do the job. It will just work. Try it. Good luck.Hunter 7-20-07 |

Religion
May I suggest treading carefully the path of religious content (bundled and/or available) on the XOs? Regardless of how anybody feels about the subject, many countries do have specific guidelines (and various degrees of legal quagmires) regarding religious content due to the various degrees of non/separation of state and church? There's a vast difference between religious studies from a historical or social point of view, and the distribution of a particular religious text. Xavi 19:40, 11 August 2007 (EDT)
