<incom> XO and digital books

[Geert Lovink]

Thanks, Steve.

That's all fine, but the unspoken assumption here is that the  
children/users will have English as their first (or second) language.  
However, in many places that's not the case. Wouldn't it be more  
suitable to look for connections of local content in local languages?  
The same counts for the English version of Wikipedia on XO machines...  
I am stating the obvious here...

PS. As you know, I am not from Paris, I am not a Francophone or  
Francophile for that matter...
