@stman Language. Every child should be able to use and learn technologies *completely* in their own language, then have a pathway into developing with at least a language that is substantially similar to their native language.

Until the day English is no longer a monopoly of our computational ideas, cyberspaces cannot truly realize the immense diversity of people.

@jiaming @stman
I've learned more about the real requirements of supporting diversity in messaging and networks from a friend's effort to build something for his Lakota community than I have from 25 years of studying different approaches to cross-cultural communication (and discarding approaches that I found to be paternalistic)

@jiaming @stman I totally agree with you. My only language is English but I would be happy if I could help other people learn it or learn other languages, as well. If there were better ways to do that I would. And possibly make new friends.
