(2007-11-12) Simcity For Olpc

The original SimCity has been donated to the OLPC project. This was initiated by Don Hopkins, the original coder (correction: he ported the original Maxis code to UNIX). He is integrating it into the Sugar UI system and will make it mod-able by Python.

To avoid TradeMark issues, it's being called MicroPolis.

Don Hopkins' blog topic on SimCity.
