Very cool...now that OLPC is my highest priority project for Creative
Commons now, this interests me even more :)

This is a great font. We should try to get him more involved...would you
like to help us blog for open font library? Why don't we do this...lets
setup a planetplanet for Open Font Library, and then use the built-in
feed reader on ccHost to put up the feed on the main page of the site
like we have official news...that would rule?

What do you all think? Nicu, could you help us do this? I setup the
blog...

Send along your blog feed and head icon if cool? Nicu, if you are cool
with, what are the specs on the heads?

Whoa, I guess we could do this for the Open Clip Art Library as well.
Ryan, that would make your life much easier, right?
