Description & Goals

Sample XOTimes.org Report

The Report activity is designed for students to learn and actively participate in journalism.

The activity provides:

A tutorial for outlining a news article
A free writing mode
The ability to include a photograph (later video)
The ability to publish to an online blog (xotimes.org)

It is our goal that the software will be included as a core activity.

The larger goal is to provide children a voice in world events.

Status

- This works for build 595
- The wordpress module is =in the ./wordpress directory and needs to be setup through ./wordpress/setup.py install
- The install script works as per expectation: ./setup.py dev
- The blog feature works to some extent, but it currently only grabs the text 
  [The AbiWord module needs to be modified to somehow spit out data in a better format]
- No implementation work has been done on the plan tab.
- The username and password to the blog have been hardcoded to post to http://olpcjam.wordpress.com
- There may be a beginner and advanced mode on the plan tab (TBD)
- The launch date for v1.0 is November 30, 2007

Current Tutorial (8KB) history	RTF Tutorial on writing a news article

XOTimes.org

We intend to create a blog/news web site where the news articles will be published (a la CNN or Digg).

The site is up at http://www.xotimes.org, however it is currently hardcoded to a single blog.

Hopefully some of the more popular articles will get picked up by the mainstream press.

Some features we would like to have:

Private Group Blogs
Digging (voting) best articles
RSS
Podcasting

Grant

We have applied for a grant with the Knight Foundation. You can read our grant proposal below.
