||
== What == |
|||
This working session--called a sprint--will focus on updating an outdated collection of web pages with basic information about the XO laptop and Sugar. The pages are here: |
|||
http://www.laptop.org/start |
|||
These pages have not been widely promoted or used since the second OLPC Give One Get One promotion in late 2008. |
|||
Scope: |
|||
* 16 profusely illustrated HTML pages |
|||
* 7 of the pages have interactive mouseover graphics |
|||
* Many screenshots throughout |
|||
* Many external links |
|||
* Entire site available as one long PDF document |
|||
== Why == |
|||
The XO-1.5 laptop has gone into production (as of March 2010) and the Sugar Learning Platform has been significantly updated. There is a need to have this high-quality collection of web pages updated. |
|||
== When == |
|||
Saturday, March 27, 2010 - Sunday, March 28, 2010 |
|||
Schedule TBD |

* Mike Lee |
|||
* Adam Holt |
|||
* Kevin Cole |
|||
* Jeff Elkner |
|||
* George Hunt |
|||
* Amy Lee (copy editing, proofreading remotely and some pre-sprint prep) |
|||
== Project Tasks == |
|||
* Reuse as much of the existing HTML and Javascript as possible. Establish directory / file naming convention for the new pages. (Maybe http://www.laptop.org/xo-1.5/gettingstarted/ ) |
|||
* Code keywords into all the new pages for search engine friendliness. |
|||
* Some of the text will need to be edited to reflect recent changes in the hardware and Sugar. |
|||
* Many new screenshots will need to be made. |
|||
* Some of the photo illustrations with callouts will need to be edited due to changes in Sugar or the laptop (e.g. expanded activity ring and new trackpad design). |
|||
* Re-use as many of the original photos and screenshots as possible. Continue to link to and store image assets in http://www.laptop.org/img/ |
|||
* Outbound links need to be rechecked. |
|||
* One or more new pages need to be written and illustrated to explain new features such as the new Gnome Desktop. |
|||
* Preserve old set of start pages ( http://www.laptop.org/7.1.0/gettingstarted/ ) and clearly label that they are for the XO-1. Link to these from the new XO-1.5 start page. |
|||
* Add sidebar on new XO-1.5 pages to help people figure out which laptop/OS they have. |
|||
* Create some inbound links from elsewhere on www.laptop.org and other user group sites. |
|||
* Time permitting, all updated pages and illustrations to be collected into a downloadable PDF. |
|||
== Site Navigation == |
|||
* How to handle jump between pages for XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75 (future) |
|||
* How to navigate to alternate language versions |
|||
== Image File Notes == |
|||
The images are a mix of GIF, PNG and JPEG. They all appear to be stored in |
|||
http://www.laptop.org/img/ |
|||
Sizes of screen shots of activities embedded in the pages vary: 427x320, 426x320 |
|||
In some cases, we may want to locate the original hardware photo from the OLPC Flickr stream in order to composite in new Sugar screens |
|||
http://www.flickr.com/photos/olpc |
|||
== PDF document download == |
|||
The entire Getting Started collection of web pages is downloadable as a 103-page, 13mb PDF. Link text in the PDF is not clickable. The PDF is posted on Google Docs for viewing: |
|||
http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BxZJ13aT6vDYODFkOGZjNWMtZjMwOS00NmJlLThlZTQtODdmYzllZjdiNTA1&hl=en |
|||
If this PDF is recreated from the new Getting Started pages, the file size can be reduced by optimizing through Acrobat. Clickable links should be preserved. Page numbering should be added. |
