Crispin and others who do work in Indonesia,

I thank Xavier for the link about

It is useful for many people to see.  Shows a functional clasification 
system and the ratings of 7 stoves.  There are also (somewhere) the 
results of the First Period of testing.

I would appreciate information about the price in Indonesia (but give in 
dollars or provide the exchange rate) of each of those approved stoves 
(the 7 plus any others).    That should be available.   Please note any 
info about subsidies, etc. so that we can have realistic comparisons.

Less available but of interest would be any information about the number 
of each of those stoves being sold.
