Back burner

• Developing the Summer of Content program, which had a summer 2007 pilot and needs to be picked up again when everyone has time. Also see Summer of Content.
• Together with Andy Pethan, I am working on the design of Bounties for awesome, a system of collecting open content problems, encouraging work on them, and moderating rewards for progress on their solutions. Not entirely OLPC-related, though.
• The Classrooms for Free Culture project would be a good follow-up to University program.
• Make an .xo package of Mutt for Email? Maybe with the zenburn theme.
• A photo tutorial of XO disassembly - Seth's pictures are a good resource.
• OLPC-related research could be aggregated using http://researchblogging.org and other tools - or a similar system might be a good way for students to collaborate on documents, perhaps?

Someday

Projects and ideas I'd like to do, or see done, but haven't committed to yet. Usually the missing part is a collaborator, knowledge, resources, or just plain old activation energy and free time. If you'd like to take one of these projects (the important thing is that they happen, not who makes them happen), collaborate with me on any of them, offer support, or just talk and brainstorm about related ideas, please contact me.

• OLPC webcomic
• Rosetta Stone clone in Pygame (Update: An IMSA student is now doing this as her research project.)
• Front-end for music composition (GUI for Lilypond? Something to translate between TamTam and Lilypond?)
• "Heathkit" style build-your-own peripheral kits for the XO (solder your own gamepad, etc)
• Intro to electrical engineering through taking apart & developing for the XO
• Ad Libris, a lightweight metadata structure spec for the Library. (Update: This may have been taken up by OLE Nepal, but I can't tell from their descriptions yet.)

moved from projects

• Jams

• Writing the woefully neglected How To Run A Jam cookbook.

• Testing

• Starting a program for Review squads of young testers and teachers to give feedback on our content.
• Learning-by-documenting with Test issues (creating portal at Community Test)
• Battery testing under different conditions - see Battery Results
• Update.1 testing (with the intent of creating a walkthrough for testing future builds)
• Tests/Suspend Resume - add directions
• Test Group Release Notes - restructuring, making easier to navigate
• Clarifying different upgrade/activation paths and what they do. See changing mfg data.
• Alpha-testing and documenting Test automation by Mitchell, see X Window System event scripting and code here - intended first application is school server load testing (Australia?)

• Wiki cleanup

• Metacontent - Finding information can be tricky. Let's try to fix that.
• Metapresentations - Compiling a review/summary of presentations on Laptop demonstrations and Presentations. Can you help?
• Metawiki - Doing clean-up as per the Style guide whenever I can
• Being a sort of wiki welcome wagon and helping out newcomers. Let me know if you're interested; we could always use more people to help show newbies around.
