When I wrote a guide for new Internet users at Newbie.Net, there were three questions I couldn't answer:
- How to stop spam. So I founded the Coalition Against UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail)
- How to view all languages correctly in browsers and other software. So I joined Unicode.org and a number of Free Software projects dealing with browsers, fonts, keyboard layouts, locales, and rendering software for screen display and printing, and the IETF standards process for multilingual URLs and URIs.
- How to get everybody on the Net. So here I am. I have previously worked on wireless networking, satellite internet, and the Simputer.
I'm contributing information on countries and languages here, including writing systems, fonts, keyboard layouts, sources of literature, and other items of interest. I will be adding material on education and on the other impacts of the Laptop besides in education. It will have major effects in social development, health, economic opportunity, politics, and other important areas.
