== Someday ==

Projects and ideas I'd ''like'' to do, or see done, but haven't committed to yet. Usually the missing part is a collaborator, knowledge, resources, or just plain old activation energy and free time. If you'd like to take one of these projects (the important thing is that they happen, not ''who'' makes them happen), collaborate with me on any of them, offer support, or just talk and brainstorm about related ideas, please [[User:Mchua#Contact|contact me]].

* OLPC webcomic
* Rosetta Stone clone in Pygame (Update: An [[IMSA]] student is now doing this as her research project.)
* Front-end for music composition (GUI for Lilypond? Something to translate between TamTam and Lilypond?)
* "Heathkit" style build-your-own peripheral kits for the XO (solder your own gamepad, etc)
* Intro to electrical engineering through taking apart & developing for the XO
* [[Ad Libris]], a lightweight metadata structure spec for the [[Library]]. (Update: This ''may'' have been taken up by OLE Nepal, but I can't tell from their descriptions yet.)

:* '''Metacontent''' - [[Finding information]] can be tricky. Let's try to fix that.
:* ''Metapresentations'' - Compiling a review/summary of presentations on [[Laptop demonstrations]] and [[Presentations]]. ''Can you help?''
:* ''Metawiki'' - Doing clean-up as per the [[Style guide]] whenever I can
