Talk:Predecessors of OLPC

I included again the Maine Learning Technology Initiative project remember that the OLPC project is NOT a laptop project it is an educational project like the Maine Learning Technology Initiative, in this sense the Maine Learning Technology Initiative is a predecessor of the OLPC.

Returned the Main project

After reading the web pages of the Maine Project, I agree and have returned it to the page.

OLPC vs $100 Laptop

I am not sure why there are pages for both Predecessors of OLPC and Predecessors of $100 Laptop. I understand that the laptop is the vehicle for achieving the mission of the association, but the pages don't make that distinction very clear. Walter 19:20, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

I created this page and quite frankly, I don't understand why Bz created another page and tried to shift some content to it. I restored this page and added a bit more text to explain the purpose of it.

While the device is not the same as the organization, I don't think it hurts to have the predecessors all jumbled together. The point is that many people who have come to this site seem to be ignorant of the broader context of the OLPC device and this page is to help give them a few pointers to show the lineage.
