Welcome to the One Laptop per Child wiki. Please make yourself at home; read through the [[Table of Contents]] and [[OLPC FAQ|FAQ]], and take a look around. If you need a general wiki-tutorial, [http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial Wikieducator has some excellent ones].

Adam,

&nbsp; Walter [[User_talk:Walter#Updating_wiki_pages.2C_any_priorities.3F|forwarded]] me to you about any preferences or priorities OLPC might have for me to doing wiki page edits and updates. I've been randomly doing little updates as I stumbled upon them, but was thinking you might have a better focus of my time right now.

Adam,

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I have been trying out one of my own templates on a few pages, to see if it helps with readability and user-friendliness. [[Template:RightTOC]] I've implemented on -

# [[System Software]]
# [[Software projects]]
# [[Software ideas]]
# [[OLPC Publications]]

Please let me know your thoughts, and if I should continue added this template to pages which need some help. Or I should refrain from using it. Thanks, --[[User:IainDavidson|IainD]] 02:45, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Adam,

  Walter forwarded me to you about any preferences or priorities OLPC might have for me to doing wiki page edits and updates.

New Template - Right TOC

Adam,

  3. Software ideas
  4. OLPC Publications

Please let me know your thoughts, and if I should continue added this template to pages which need some help. Or I should refrain from using it. Thanks, --IainD 02:45, 6 January 2008 (EST)
