			News: Sugar Labs is setting up a [[Replacing Textbooks]] project now.

	We know we have to create a new generation of electronic replacements for textbooks, but until now, nobody has stepped up. People tell me that this is in part because they don't see how to get past print publishers, teachers' unions, and Ministries of Education to get the new materials into use. But there is a sneaky way to do it. We just give them away for free, and completely bypass the established bureaucratic textbook acquisition process with all of its expenses, delays, and compromises. This will also liberate 47 US states from the domination of the textbook market by California, New York, and Texas.

BCSC had a plan in place to replace textbooks with netbooks and digital media. They and Mokurai are discussing funding possibilities, including the tens of billions of dollars on offer from the US Department of Education.
