  By not supporting medium-sized deployments of, say 30 to 5000 laptops (a typical order from a school or an educational 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.

    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
    outside of G1G1.

      OLPC is too much interested in bulk orders from countries to be a serious force in democratising education.
