This really is a good cause. It is staffed primarily by volunteers and you will not regret waiting. There is so much good that can be done with this and technical people, such as yourself, are needed to make this a go.
The engineering design that went into the hardware and software for this is really utterly amazing. They came in at twice the money they wanted to, but it is still remarkable. It is very tiny, the keyboard is intended for a child's hands, but my USB keyboard and mouse work just fine. Tom and I will be doing mesh networking experiments next week.
With some patience and some effort, we can deliver some very neat things to OLPC and help them help the disadvantaged of the world connect to the rest of the world.
