Wayan,

I think you mostly hit a nail on its heas with the "teachers first" approach. However, the very opposite approach, especially when it gets overhyped (e.g. XO-1) appears to be able to generate a lot of positive press, which might be a foundation for some serious "teachers first" action or campaign. If there was no OLPC, would this site exist? Would you write OLPC News or work for Inveneo? That is the fundamental question of what is actually maximizing the progress...
