I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of something like this, but should we be looking at the One Laptop Per Child project?<br><br>While that project is not intended for (and many on the project may be quite hostile towards) religious material, I would assume it would still be a good thing to have resources that would be focused towards these laptops.
<br><br>Yes, the laptops are Linux under the hood, but are the Linux based sword front ends workable solutions on these things?<br><br>Do the current Linux programs need to be tuned, or might it be better to write a new program from scratch? There might be some special issues with Sugar.
<br><br>This could be a place where specially hardwired packaged binaries might come in.<br><br>Since Sugar is built with Python, maybe there's something interesting that can be done with Sword's Python bindings.
<br><br>Also, here's the wiki on the eBooks (which I gather are viewable when the laptop is in low power mode..)<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ebooks" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ebooks</a><br><br>Maybe making some of the modules in various languages (primarily biblical texts) available somehow..<br><br>I don't know, what does everyone think? I'm just shotgunning stuff out at the moment.
<br><br>Anybody who decides they want to write a Sugar specific interface would have to remember that they're going to have to closely follow a very moving target for the next couple of years.<br><br>-DJ
