Sounds very interesting!

This list is mainly about developing _packaging_ of OLPC-related 
software.

When you are developing OLPC-related _software_, it is probably better 
to promote it at http://dev.laptop.org/ somewhere (it's a wiki), and to 
some laptop.org mailinglist.

Or, if your software is tied to the Sugar GUI used on the OLPC, and is 
therefore relevant also for non-OLPC Sugar uses, then you are probably 
better off promoting your work at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/ somewhere 
(yes, that's a wiki too).

Great.  And sorry if we are slow at responding to your bugs - feel free 
to "ping" us (post a short "hello - did anyone see this?" to the 
bugreport) if you feel a bugreport is being ignored/overlooked for too 
long. :-)

I believe such suggestion is better posted at some laptop.org 
mailinglist (and I seem to recall that something of that kind has been 
discussed already, so try Googling first...).


Kind regards,
