It sounds like an interesting program -- how can people get involved with its development directly, other than by joining the mailing list? Are there detailed pages that need more data or other input? Are you already talking to environment grps for support?

cf. 3. OLPCO2e Virtual/Wiki Office: http://sites.google.com/site/olpco2e/ and others in that line of thinking.

Why did we opt for Google Sites, Google Calendar, Google Discussion Groups, and the other Google tools, s.a. Google Docs? OLPCO2e is going to have to do a LOT of calculations and data-input for calculating the CO2e-reductions, e.g. for every country we'll have to calculate and monitor the Greenhouse Gas Reductions and monitor that objectively year by year. Our calculations and monitoring is followed-up by independent auditors and verificators, think SGS, TUV, ... I've posted a Request For comments on this topic at the Talk:Communication_channels#Advice_and_RFC_to_OLPCO2e-Entity. I've discussed it only with the OLPCNews co-editor, but that person agreed that Google is developing, integrating and deploying all these tools into and as one "Virtual Office" much faster than the IT-tools OLPC puts at our disposal. And since OLPCO2e is a new Entity... I didn't see any harm of going that road until there is a better option/comment. :) --SvenAERTS 21:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
