Hacking the OLPC XO

[phillinux <phillinux@nyc.rr.com>]

Did anyone here work on the OLPC XO project???

I'm a teacher who would be interested in adapting the XO for 
secondary school students. I would need to get a lightweight version 
of open office running on that machine.

Is the XO GUI Python based??
Could Open Office run on it??
DSL uses a lightweight GUI. Could that run on an OX and could it 
support OpenOffice??

I guess the question I'm asking is, which is more possible:
1.  Getting Open Office to run on the existing XO OS & GUI   or
2.  Could another GUI and apps be built on the XO kernel??

Does any of this make sense or is this a pipe dream?
