Introduction
Make an Activity for laptop charging, geared towards people who are using/developing off-grid power sources (especially human-powered ones).
The screen should display the voltage, amperage, wattage that the charger is currently supplying to the laptop (with the option of several units - instead of "watts," show pictures of how many lightbulbs you'd light with the same wattage, etc.) as well as a best guess as to what percentage of the battery is charged. When the battery is fully charged, a 15-minute "keep charging!" timer should start so that the user will be encouraged to keep going to recondition the battery (and extend its life).
How to help
This project is a collaboratively organized undertaking, so the best way to get started is to just dive in and introduce yourself.
If there is a project mailing list, IRC channel, or other form of communication that is not this wikipage, please list it here.
