I created a new video. This time the video shows the tinymail demo user interface on the One Laptop Per Child laptop.
My little brother helped me a little bit with making this video nice. You know, with fading background sound from Karoliina’s excellent music samples and such a black end screen with a logo and the URL.
I hope tinymail will be used a lot on mobile devices and by projects like the One Laptop Per Child.
Project teams and companies should know that I am accepting and already working on custom tinymail development, enhancements and feature implementations. For the One Laptop Per Child project I will make an exception: I will try implementing what they need for free because I truly believe in their project. Yeah, I’m one of those guys who also believes that for example wikipedia is truly going to make a significant difference.

I can’t see why you’d want to contribute to a project that is run and almost entirely funded by those evil Americans.
Wait, not all Americans are evil? You’d hardly know it from this blog.
(I’m not American.)
In any case, I along with many others who have denoted hundreds of hours of their time to this project already, welcome your contribution.
msevior, I’m not anti American-projects nor anti American people. If you find opinions about America (the USA) on my blog, I usually only express my opinion about the political atmosphere.
I’m certain that individuals living in the USA have very few power to change things. Just like how I have few power over this.
It would be foolish to shoot at any American project, like the OLPC might be, just because I dislike the political atmosphere of that country.
So I don’t. Rather, I applaud it. But OLPC shows more about how (some of) the people of this world are concerned. It, in my opinion, does not really show something about specifically America.
I even find it a little bit disturbing that you try to use my opinion, which in my opinion I should and can express, t make a point about something that is actually unrelated: comparing my opinion on USA foreign politics with my opinion on a technology and humanitarian project like the OLPC project.
You turn things that have nothing to do with each other, into a black-white point of view: you are against America (which is untrue, I’m against how USA foreign politics works today), so you must also be against the OLPC project.
That doesn’t make sense. Or does it?
