* Remember this page is the most public face of the wiki - test edits are best done on a separate page.
* Sections within "<! --" and "-- >" markers (without the spaces) - like this entire section - are hidden comments, and can be separated by several lines. Be sure not to break them.
* We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-leftcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the left column is first, followed by the right column.
* Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added.

▲While all countries and territories (around 200, perhaps starting with the countries, and places, in GlobalVoicesOnline.org), and all languages, (possibly 8,000 +, including 'dead' languages, but starting with those in languages in Google Translate and in Wikipedia) will be part of this, we'd like to focus at first on the communities in countries that One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), is also engaging - Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, USA (Birmingham, Alabama), Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, & Papua New Guinea - as well as your interests. WUaS is planning to make its content available on One Laptop Per Child computers, and video-capable, programmable, handheld devices (video), as these develop. And people in these countries, of course, can add their own courses or instruction to this WUaS wiki, and by teaching to their web cameras, with knowledge they would like to share. A video-capable, internet, mobile-phone device would allow people who are illiterate to take and post courses to this WUaS wiki.
