We are a distributed group working to solve this challenge, and would really be interested in hearing from you and any others that want to work on this. Check out our site here: http://www.dev4x.com and let us know if you want to join us.
We are working on the Moonshot Education Project :http://www.dev4x.com with the mission to: "Provide a 10X improvement in the education of the world’s poorest children, to reach a billion children in the next 10 years, and to do so at a 100th the cost of current approaches."
An XPRIZE was announced yesterday to incentivize much of what we are doing however finding people willing to work on this project when we just cannot compete on salary with profit focus companies is a huge challenge. That is our biggest growing pain at the moment: finding people passionate about Really changing the world and willing to put their wallets on the line to do so :) We hope the added support of the XPRIZE will solve this issue by introducing us to the right people, and for the 1 day since it's launch I think it just may.
