The One Laptop Per Child project announced Wednesday that it plans to downsize half of its staff and reduce the salary of the remaining employees. OLPC will also halt its development of the open source Sugar environment and focus on building its next-generation hardware device. These plans are part of a major restructuring effort that has been necessitated by the financial downturn and the organization's dwindling resources.

As much as I admire Negroponte (still have my copy of Being Digital around somewhere), I have to agree. Although I expect the OLPC project probably deserves some credit for the current "netbook" phenomenon.
