      I am delighted that the fantastic Sugar project is available to countries that don't have the top-down education system that is necessary to buy the XO.

    This is a good example, thank you... I will follow up off list; but
    you are right, this is the sort of project we are not supporting

    By not supporting medium-sized deployments of, say 30 to 5000 laptops (a typical order from a school or a county-level authority) the OLPC Foundation betrays an instinct for paternalism. We have too much paternalism in education already, and the technologies in Sugar were designed to give children democratic access to education.
