Ideas

Open Content Portal

• website
• focused on children (and other users)
• allows both upload/download

Find and Publish Mechanism

• Software on device enables find and publish
• Develop GTK-based license chooser that hooks into desktop as control panel
  • Idea is for this to be skinned with sugar and put in so that each user on a system might select the default license
• Develop KDE-based license chooser
• Allows for proper licensing (although, how does one explain this to kids?)
