OLPC itself is only working on the base system and core activities.
But anyone can create software for it. They will also host the
project for you if needed. There is a page on the wiki where you can
register your activity bundle, this page is linked from the laptop,
it takes only one click to install. So everybody can easily provide
software for the OLPC machine. And I posted an outline how to write
an OLPC activity in Squeak, as you know.
OLPC is only a handful of people. Don't expect them to do everything.
Do it yourself.
