I've looked at some of the stuff you are posting on Talk:Measure and I think it's very interesting. I'd suggest you consider creating new pages for some of this instead of just shoe-horning it into the talk page, where it gets a bit lost in the scroll. It may be conservative wikipedia habits transferring over, but I think you'll find that around the OLPC wiki there is much more openness to new page creation. I think some of the stuff you're doing merits Measure/sub-pages and talk pages all of it's own (e.g. Measure/Speaker or whatever), instead of just deeper and deeper indents on Talk:Measure. Just my opinion, you're certainly free to continue posting over there, but perhaps you shouldn't restrict yourself to talk pages when you are clearly developing fully formed ideas/projects.

Calculate examples.

Thanks for the great followup comment! :) Do you have any good examples you've discovered ? I'll start collecting them too. --IainD 22:00, 30 December 2007 (EST)

Measure/Oscilloscope

Great ideas on the Measure/Oscilloscope page! Keep them coming...Also feel free to add suggestions on the discussion page of Measure for features you'd like to see in the Activity. Also, I am trying to collect interesting science experiments that can be done around the XO. Let me know of any ideas/thoughts. Thanks!--Arjs 14:36, 1 January 2008 (EST)

Ive added a lot of pics on how to build a temperature sensor probe and how to do some measurement stuff. It'd be great if you could let me know some feedback or try them out etc. thanks. --Arjs 15:11, 14 January 2008 (EST)
Thanks for your message. It'd be nice to talk/skype sometime. Let me know if that's possible for you. My email id is given on my user page. --Arjs 00:04, 15 January 2008 (EST)

price of USB based sensor board

Thanks for your feedback. Ive passed on your comments to Edward Baafi, edward dot baafi at gmail dot com. --Arjs 17:46, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Fair enough, since I raised the structure issue, I'll craft a proposal for restructuring and post it to Talk:Measure or maybe Measure#Proposed_re-organization_of_this_page for consideration by those of you that are doing all the cool stuff. Looking at current structure, I'm thinking short, bushy branching e.g. Measure/Projects (index only section) on Measure, Measure/Projects stays, but becomes more a short ideas section collector/incubator, Measure/Oscilliscope, Measure/Speaker, Measure/Widget1, etc. graduate to become immediate branches indexed on Measure.
