olpc community starting page
- I worked at the OLPC Europe headquarters together with people like Giulia D'AMICO-OLPC.
- I understand that OLPC is a community driven project, it wants to be an Open Community Project, using Open Software, etc.
- I understand the OLPC - as an acronym in CAPITALS - is used to refer to the official OLPC not for profit and "olpc" - in small caps - to the community of supporters who are not employed by the OLPC not for profit.
- I understand this wiki was originally started by the hardware and software engineer teams of OLPC to facilitate and further their collaborations and exchanges that ultimately lead to the final first version of the XO-laptops and it is still used to document and expand all this, the next XO models, etc.
- I believe that during this process, also non-hardware and software engineers started using the wiki to further other aspects: specialised subgroups, preparing deployments, building support to the project, etc.
- I think it would be logical to add a welcome page to this olpc community. And I'd like to make this page the starting page for this olpc community. I'd like to see what you think about this, so please write your comments below.
- Immediately I stumble into an issue: the wiki software turns the name I'd like to give the page "olpc community" into "Olpc community". Is there a way around this? Thy.
