Hi Sharon and LinuxChix folks,
Your Kids on Computers project sounds great.

We have spent the last year building the Internet-in-a-Box project.
See http://internet-in-a-box.org

If you are seeking to add offline Wikipedia and Khan Academy, we have
a great deal of experience with that, as well as world-wide maps,
gutenberg e-books, etc

I won't be able to make the installfest tomorrow, but perhaps we
should talk about how we could help you.

See our demo at:
