This page is not maintained by the OLPC team. (See: About this wiki)
A dedicated software market for the OLPC could be launched here in this wiki. Companies and open source developer teams would be able to offer projects that could be ordered by the community; after collecting the funding for the development the community (e.g. represented by the OLPC Foundation) would be the owner of the product, releasing it under a previously agreed upon license, for instance the GPL.
The community could also decide to collect funding to order a development from a company, for instance an existing application or educational game being ported to the OLPC and localized to the participating countries, or the community could develop ideas and allow developer teams or companies to offer their services to implement the software.
A democratic process could be implemented independent of the amount of donations made by an individual. The community could be allowed to vote against projects seen as inappropriate or severly flawed and the OLPC foundation could have a veto, both against projects and against the termination of projects.
