Central selection of interesting materials, even sample materials to seed local creation, does not scale. To enjoy successful collaboration, each topic, medium, and language needs curators – people devoted to tracking the proliferation of contributing projects, coordinating related efforts, improving quality, and teaching new contributors what is needed and what the target audience is like. As individual topics grow in popularity, their curators should grow in number and specialization. This curation is needed for dozens of projects; OLPC, with its attractive, universal, and near-term goals, is a beacon for volunteers.
'''CMQF''': Completeness, Multilingualism, Quality, Freeness. Four values from 0 to 6, describing the status of known materials in a given group a) that we can point to, and b) that laptop users can use at no charge. Completeness refers to coverage of the topic, [[Content|Freeness]] to access fees, licensing and reusability.


The community of open content and open source developers maintain and curate collections by topic and source. If you are maintaining one of these collections, or would like to maintain one that is currently dormant or not yet maintained, please add your name below and on the individual page for that project.
''Question'': where to note organizational needs? For programming, &c.
: To submit new materials, please post a description and link to your work, or send email with details to <tt>content@laptop.org</tt>.

== OLPC networks ==
Local networks of laptops and school servers provide a platform for sharing existing knowledge and new ideas and cache materials from archives larger than individual school servers can hold.
== Overall ==

{| width=600px
Curators and maintainers are responsible for a single project or collection. They should be prepared to select from that collection two classes of activities or [[content bundles]] : those with a smaller footprint, for downloading to XOs (under 20MB, with moderate memory and cpu demands, are ideal); and those with a larger footprint, designed to be a resource to XOs, for school servers where available. Curators with websites should also consider creating or designing a child-friendly and language-neutral lens into their site.

Each topic, medium, and language also needs coordinators &mdash; people devoted to tracking the proliferation of projects, collections, and related efforts, and reviewing new submissions for quality and audience. Coordinators determine what content is needed, and convey these needs to individual curators, and can seek out new collections as well; they spend less time curating or maintaining projects directly.

== Contribute ==

A list of current curators and maintainers follows. Maintainers for an entire topic or verb tend to coordinate the efforts of each individual curator and maintainer within that space more than they work on an individual project.

Coordinators are responsible for connecting individual maintainers to each other within their group, and responding to related inquiries. This takes slightly more regular work than curation, and varies by the interest of new contributors. Note to coordinators: you may want to set up a [http://rt.laptop.org Request Tracker] account or list for your group, and you may want a separate trac component for it (in addition to separate components for individual active projects).

To become a curator/maintainer or coordinator, leave a message on the [[Talk:Curators_and_maintainers|talk page]].

The community of open content and open source developers maintain and curate collections by topic and source. If you are maintaining one of these collections, or would like to maintain one that is currently dormant or not yet maintained, please add your name below and on the individual page for that project.

To submit new materials, please post a description and link to your work, or send email with details to content@laptop.org.


OLPC networks

Local networks of laptops and school servers provide a platform for sharing existing knowledge and new ideas and cache materials from archives larger than individual school servers can hold.

Curators and maintainers are responsible for a single project or collection. They should be prepared to select from that collection two classes of activities or content bundles : those with a smaller footprint, for downloading to XOs (under 20MB, with moderate memory and cpu demands, are ideal); and those with a larger footprint, designed to be a resource to XOs, for school servers where available. Curators with websites should also consider creating or designing a child-friendly and language-neutral lens into their site.

Each topic, medium, and language also needs coordinators — people devoted to tracking the proliferation of projects, collections, and related efforts, and reviewing new submissions for quality and audience. Coordinators determine what content is needed, and convey these needs to individual curators, and can seek out new collections as well; they spend less time curating or maintaining projects directly.

Contribute

A list of current curators and maintainers follows. Maintainers for an entire topic or verb tend to coordinate the efforts of each individual curator and maintainer within that space more than they work on an individual project.

Coordinators are responsible for connecting individual maintainers to each other within their group, and responding to related inquiries. This takes slightly more regular work than curation, and varies by the interest of new contributors. Note to coordinators: you may want to set up a Request Tracker account or list for your group, and you may want a separate trac component for it (in addition to separate components for individual active projects).

To become a curator/maintainer or coordinator, leave a message on the talk page.

Language and Geography

Languages should have at least one coordinator per country from country teams. Green and red countries should have at least one coordinator (focusing on local organization coordination, not content per se).

Languages

Languages should have a coordinator from outside even where countries are not cooperative.

Geographic coordinators will soon be needed to help coordinate NGO and educator activity in that region; curators from specific regional projects (rather than specific subject areas). See OLPC_world_map.
