Central selection of interesting materials, even sample materials to seed local creation, does not scale. To enjoy successful collaboration, each topic, medium, and language needs curators – people devoted to tracking the proliferation of contributing projects, coordinating related efforts, improving quality, and teaching new contributors what is needed and what the target audience is like. As individual topics grow in popularity, their curators should grow in number and specialization. This curation is needed for dozens of projects; OLPC, with its attractive, universal, and near-term goals, is a beacon for volunteers.

CMQF: Completeness, Multilingualism, Quality, Freeness. Four values from 0 to 6, describing the status of known materials in a given group a) that we can point to, and b) that laptop users can use at no charge. Completeness refers to coverage of the topic, Freeness to access fees, licensing and reusability.

Question: where to note organizational needs? For programming, &c.

Language and Geography

Languages should have at least one coordinator per country from country teams. Green and red countries should have at least one coordinator (focusing on local organization coordination, not content per se).

Languages

Languages should have a coordinator from outside even where countries are not cooperative.

Geography

Geographic coordinators will soon be needed to help coordinate NGO and educator activity in that region; curators from specific regional projects (rather than specific subject areas). See Map.
