I love it when a good plan come’s together. Or in this case, two seemingly unrelated plans that happen to be orbiting near my little world. The Creole markup project () got a comment from someone working on the One Laptop Per Child project. It seems there was call to come up with some kind of universal markup there, as well.
A mere mention of OLPC has me thinking of Erik‘s adventures with Summer of Code (for which he got press here and here, as Planet Informaticians already know). Projects are often too big for everyone to know everything about what is going on, but I wonder if Erik had any input on this whole markup standardization topic. Perhaps it’s like asking someone from Chicago if they know Bob, since he lives there, too.
