I would point out that writing educational software for people who don't have computers isn't very useful either, and that once kids have computers (on a common, free platform) there's a lot more incentive to write educational software for them.
Exactly my reasoning - OLPC is going to be a common, free platform, so it should be plenty of incentive. Yet, little is happening.
There may be little _visible_ activity, but not everything is discussed and planned on edu-sig. ;-) Still, your concerns are valid. It may be that the OLPC program needs to reach out further to certain interested parties. David
