How would you like to use your 3D modeling skills to help some of the 
poorest people on earth?

P3 is a project to put key knowledge resources on cheap handheld 
computers for people living in extreme poverty. Because literacy is low 
in some places, we'd like to use a virtual village as a navigation 
metaphor. Different "huts" would stand for different areas of knowledge 
- a medical hut would house health information, an agriculture hut 
information on farming, etc. So instead of clicking on the word 
"health", they might click on the medical hut.

We've put together a project page that gives the details. We also have a 
mailing list and an IRC channel if you're interested in participating. 
Come help us build a virtual village to help the poor!
