OK I HAVE AN IDEA BUT IT IS STILL IN ITS INFANT STAGE AND I WOULD LOVE FOR EVERYONE TO COMMENT AND GIVE HINTS OR HELP ON HOW
MAYBE TOGETHER WE COULD DO SOMETHING.
THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING:
MY BROTHER CHRISTOPHER IS LEAVING DENMARK IN A FEW WEEKS.
HE IS GOING TO A DEVELOPING COUNTRY IN SOUTH AMERICA TO HELP OUT. HE WILL BE GOING TO A REALLY POOR REGION.
I INVITED HIM TO OMM AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW MAYBE WE SOMEHOW COULD FIGURE OUT A WAY TO LET CHILDREN AND PEOPLE FROM THE REGION INPUT THEIR PICTURE.
NOW, I DONT HAVE THE TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE OR KNOWHOW TO ASSEMBLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I KNOW THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF HARDWARE OUT THERE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. WHAT TO DO?
SO IF ANYONE IS OUT THERE THAT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR HAVE IDEAS. ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREAT.
JOE

He would need something that can access the web and support an internet browser, and is also portable.
A palm or pocket PC would probably do it, but it could work out expensive.
Good luck |

HMM PAUL THUGHTS AND IDEAS:
IS THERE A WAY TO GROUP SQUARES?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN LIKE A VILLAGE OR MAYBE THATS
NOT HOW YOU INTEND IT.....HMMMM.
WOULD BE KIND OF COOL IF THERE WAS AN OPTION TO DO THAT
YOU KNOW LIKE A FEW PEOPLE COULD DECIDE ON GETTING TOGETHER
AND WORKING TOGETHER. MAYBE THEY COULD PUT IN REQUESTS TO
BE RELOCATED WITHIN THE CIRCLE. IT IS JUST AN IDEA. IT IS A BIT
HARD TO HAVE LIKE GROUPS WORKING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.
IT MAKES THE WHOLE IMAGE A BIT SHATTERED. I HAVE SEEN SOME ATTEMPTS THOUGH. THERE ARE A LOT OF DRAW AND RUN SQUARES
OUT THERE. PEOPLE DRAW AND THEN THEY ARE GONE. HMMM ... I GUESS IT IS OK BUT JOINT SQUARE PROJECTS WILL BE HARDER TO DO. ANYWAY I THINK REQUEST FOR RELOCATES WOULD BE A COOL OPTION.
GOOD MOVE ON THE LIMITATION THING. LIKE I SAID IN MY COMMENT THAT DISAPEARED IT WAS POTENTIALLY INFINITE BEFORE.HEHEHE
OK I WILL NOW STOP

Hey Joe
The top map is of GSM coverage in South America (as of Sept 2005). While it doesn't look like much, figure that there is coverage where the bulk of the population is in South America (note the second map: population density as of 2000). With a laptop (either bluetooth enabled or needs a bluetooth dongle) and a bluetooth cellphone, he can hop online (in the areas with service), get each kid an email address at Hotmail, and let them have at it.
When you say "developing country", that can mean a lot. Is there a cyber cafe with a dial-up modem? Is there even electricity in this particular area?
As far as a PDA as Pip mentioned...I tried to see what I could do with a Dell PDA. The flash software available for it seems to be stripped down. It would allow me to view pictures, but no more than that.

Hi Joe, your ideas are great. I've been thinking about making it possible to swap positions with other users, and for groups of people to register in batches. The important thing is that the system we choose is democratic and organic - so that one person is not making decisions about how the picture looks.
I'm going to talk to some people about this, but keep throwing up opinions and suggestions! |

I dont know if a tablet provides enough memory (or provides memory at all) to safe work. Meaby if you could bring a laptop. You dont need to have a very good tablet for something like this. Just an idea might just be blabbering :3 goodluck! sounds like a great project
This surely shouldnt be a project only for people who can affort a pc |
