Yes, it helps, but I'm afraid it proves my point. (I'm happy to just look at the English Sugar Labs.)
Maybe I'm just missing it, but I see learning activities, not books.
I'd like to see lectures and/or text books. For instance, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra.
I think Khan Academy has a nice map of their materials:

Wikipedia subsets are nice to have, but they're not Course Material. It's a good reference, not a teaching book, filled with problem sets, etc.
- adricnet 13y agoI agree. CJB commented elsewhere in this thread ( cjbprime) and he knows better than I do what went on back then. I think that creating educational content is an incredibly important thing, and that it should be freely distributable to all and translated and localized broadly. It's a huge undertaking. There are a few projects around trying to do things like this (against the impressive might of the textbook publishing industry) and I wish them the best of luck. OLPC will be only one benefactor of such efforts, and KA is certainly a great project. Another hub of free educational content and tools is is Moodle. XO Server ships Moodle with content packs, but again, I'm not sure what is in them, sorry :/ You can start near here to check on them: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Community_Edition http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Community_Edition links to http://schoolserver.org/ http://schoolserver.org/ hth and thanks for discussion, adric
