Больше всего задело упоминание “…we’re not using a desktop metaphor…”. Стало очень интересно, что в итоге получится. Вообще, забавный проект. Ручка для зарядки у этого девайса - аки групповушка: практически всем хочется, но большинство стесняется в этом признаться.

It would seem a shame to duplicate effort when they are so similar in aims, screen dimensions, toolkit, OS etc. These mockups look great but they also remind me a lot of maemo (http://maemo.org) who are also doing things like integrating IM presence etc.

But the mugshot guys and the one laptop guys do share a lot of ideas back and forth so there is some cross pollenation. It’s not directly related to the mugshot project, no.

The good news is that we're stripping it all down for a much more no-brainer no-install environment we're calling MSG, will be AJAX, open source, etc), and will be bundling that into our Hewlett Foundation-funded Open Content Initiative courseware and tools (just begun, see <a href="http://oci.open.ac.uk/" rel="nofollow">Open University OCI pages</a>; though targetted at an older audience, some of the core ideals are clearly similar, and I'm hoping we can cross-fertilize to some extent. Stay tuned! One quick comment on the presence stuff is that while staying simple on the one hand, you'll need to cater for some of the multiple dimensions of presence (state of attention rather than just online/offline, location, perhaps mood) - without going 'too overboard'. Odigo, bless their hearts, had one of the nicest multi-dimensional presence-state-pickers a few years ago, i.e. both simple and powerful... I hope to post more on this in the OLPC wiki eventually. Cheers -Marc Great stuff, Chris – very exciting to have presence such a core component (have just blogged a link here too… but wanted to add the following): our open source Jabber-based BuddySpace has some geolocation concepts built in, but generally has strayed way too far in the techie/geek-ish direction.

Great hardward and project! “idea of presence and who is around into a basic element of the environment” sounds like Galago, http://www.galago-project.org/about.php

For the upcoming 1.0 version we implemented the contact-list-slides-in-from-side idea you mentioned, and it works very well. In general, I'll be excited to watch where this goes, as the idea of presence and communication being an integral part of the system is somewhere I want to take the Mac.

This means that they can all talk to each other, even if the internet as a whole isn't available. And don't get stuck on the colors. Those are likely to be easy to change for the kids to match the laptop colors, which will also be varied. The laptops all have built in wireless that can take advantage of mesh networking.
