How should email be offered on the laptops?
OLPC intern [Imran Akbar] is working on a prototype email client written in Python. It will initially utilize existing POP/IMAP servers to store messages, and use a keyserver for [GPG] encryption and zlib compression built-in. The GUI interface will be simpler, with three tabs on the left: Mail and Contacts... voicemail capabilities will be added later utilizing the [Speex] codec.
Other ideas:
- captchas and [hashcash] to eliminate spam
- casy mailing-list creation
- tags
- presence - location & local time
- global address book
