This is an awesome program, how can we take wiki involvement to the next level? Any chance to market on the main wiki webpage? Thanks.

Wikis: they are in our webpages, on our laptops, taking over our conferences... and now in our children's homes! WHERE WILL IT END.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
Being more serious, for the original poster: you might be interested in the WikiBrowse activity, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/WikiBrowse, which is the version of Wikipedia on the XOs. AFAIK this is being shipped on the current machines, so WMF content is being pretty effectively used in the OLPC project already (when he's not frantic with other things, maybe SJ could send an update on this to the the list?).
If you'd like to help out with OLPC, there's a list of ways community members can participate here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Participate

Oh, and there's a project to actually get different collections of Wikipedia together for OLPC and potentially other projects at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikislice.
Similar to but not quite the same as related projects, like the Schools Wikipedia collection.. -- phoebe
