Idea for OpenMoko: Kid Mode

[michael at michaelshiloh.com]

That is brilliant. As the parent of an 11-year old, I'd want a highly
configurable profile:

* Allow calls to/from (parents/grandparents/babysitter/etc.) anytime
* Allow calls to/from (list of friends) between 4pm and 9pm weekdays, 10-10pm
   weekends only
* Allow a maximum of (x) outgoing calls to friends per month
* as above for incoming
* as above for text messages

Of course good parenting encourages us to build better trust with our children
rather than depending on technology to solve our parenting problems but that's
another discussion..

Perhaps consider this "technology-assisted good parenting".

Cool idea!
