Revision as of 21:04, 18 January 2011

This week admittedly I didn't have that much time to work on OLPC; its the last week of the first quarter / second semester. What follows is a review of what I've done since the New Year, and an overview of what I want to get done in the future.

Tasks done

Times for here are rough, exact breakdowns will come in the DRAFT invoices towards the end of the month.

Jan 5 (Wed, last week) we had a meeting with Jared, and continued afterward, discussing what we should work on in the future. [1hr]

I've verified I can log into laptop1 and laptop2, and familiarized myself with the environment. [15m]

Today, I migrated over Molly DeBlanc's Getting Started Guide to the live site. <http://laptop.org/start> now redirects to <http://laptop.org/10.1.3/gettingstarted/>. The old GSG can still be found at <http://laptop.org/7.1.0/gettingstarted/>. [30m]

Some images were not in her bundle that I could find, and appear as broken links:

* http://laptop.org/img/view-buttons-mesh-xo15.png
* http://laptop.org/img/view-buttons-friends-xo15.png

Perhaps they were lost, and can be found elsewhere. I'm not sure if this is a priority.

I prepared this timeline. [45m]

Future

Over the next few weeks, I plan to work on implementing the tasks you and I discussed last week. The times quoted are intentionally pessimistic; tasks will probably be completed in less time, but some may take longer.

This weekend and next week, I'm hoping to:

* Investigate the means by which we could import feeds a la planet.
  - We'll want to have a subset of Planet syndicated, subject to manual

approval [medium, 3hr]

* Rename "news summary" <http://one.laptop.org/summary/> to just

"summary", and "blog" <http://one.laptop.org/news/> to "news". Make the "news" link on the top bar link to "blog"/"news" rather than "news summary"/"summary" [easy, .5hr]

* Determine a migration path for URLs on the old blog.laptop.org

instance to Drupal

  - Current URL schemes are incompatible.
* Figure out if we want to keep Wordpress for blog.l.o, and somehow

integrate it with Drupal. This eliminates the above URL issue, but add new ones, namely:

  - Unify visual style. b.l.o looks decidedly un-one.l.o-like.
  - Single-user-login between Drupal and Wordpress.


Things I'm not sure about

We touched on this during the conference call, but I must have lost my notes on this: What do all the different colors on <http://one.laptop.org/summary/> indicate? Green == external news, but what is the difference between amber and blue?

Blue = blog.l.o, maybe core-community parts of the plaet
Orange = vision (press releases, other anncmts)
Pink = from the field (blogs from countries and pilots)

Which items do we want comments on one.l.o vs sending users off to the parent sites? (of course, if we kept WP, we'd want blog.l.o comments on blog.l.o)

Is it intentional that anonymous users cannot enter even a name or email address when commenting on one.l.o?
