<p>Othmanskn: </p> <hr /> <div>Why do you have to wait for others to agree? If it will be a free project, you just need to set up a forge...[[User:Kozuch|Kozuch]] 01:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==What about these?==<br /> Have you talked to the Wikimedia foundation? Their Wikibooks and Wikiversity projects are already developing textbooks and teaching materials.<br /> <br /> Also the [http://www.hesperian.org/about_copyright.php Hesperian Foundation], publishers of &quot;Where there is no doctor&quot; and other books. This is an excellent basic medical guide and they have a fairly liberal copyright policy too.

OLPC should not be used as toys or entertainment.<br /> <br /> [[User:Othmanskn|Othmanskn]] 12:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)</div>
