Hi Adam,

I can certainly ship you a new dataset hard drive at any time, but
there have been no functional updates since the last drives I sent.

The biggest thing we are waiting on is wikipedia search, which is
being handled by one of our volunteers who has not had time in a
couple weeks.  Wikipedia full-text search is not ready (although we've
made strides in that direction), and title-only search currently
appears buggy on the full-blown version of wikipedia.

Once those fixes are in place I can get you an HD with working
Wikipedia search, and fulfill my other immediate standing orders for
two more stand-alone IIAB devices for Sierra Leone, two for Malawi,
and two more for Kiribati. (my office is starting to looks like a
shipping & receiving department)

Hopefully this will happen in the next couple of weeks.  Hopefully it
will be in time for the OLPC SF summit, but I cannot guarantee that.

I will probably be unable to make the summit.

My contact in Kiribati, btw, says their department of education has 20
XO's sitting in a closet never used.  He is determined to get them
into the hands of children on the outlying islands in the next few
months.  I'll put you in contact with him since I don't think he has
any connections in the OLPC community.
