Hello everyone, 

I thought you might be interested in this story I saw at the weekend - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27346567 - about a project that uses memory sticks to install operating systems on old or unused computers to give people in the developing world their own computer.

As a secondary note, I wondered if anyone had any ideas about how Wikipedia access could be built in to the mix. I know of Kiwix but wondered if this story would perhaps inspire any great ideas.

All thoughts welcome! Thank you,

Stevie
