Ask OLPC a Question is a set of pages dedicated to general questions about the project.
Questions about how to learn and use the XO can be posted to New Users.
Before asking a question...
- Read the "Official OLPC FAQ";
- If you own an XO laptop and have technical questions, read the "Support FAQ";
- Search the wiki for an answer to your questions (using the search field in the column on the left, or Google), and add a targeted question or comment to the discussion associated with that page;
- Aside from the sections below (each of which can be viewed in expanded form using the links provided), there are several other pages which contain Frequently Asked Questions. Check them to see if your question is covered there.
- Some classes of questions have their own forums:
- To get a laptop for yourself, your young relatives, your NGO, etc., see this section;
- To submit ideas, see the OLPC Idea Pool.
- To answer a question, feel free to reply below. Sign your response (using the wiki convention of -- ~~~~) and put it in the Answered Question Section of its subpage (that is, above the line with </noinclude> which is near the end). The community can discuss and revise your answer.
- To make general comments and suggestions, see the main talk page or the "discussion" tab at the top of each page;
- There is a discussion page to dispel various rumors about the project.
- There is a new developers FAQ at http://aaa.opensourcehost.com/~thoughts/faq/.
Ask a new question
Choose a category from the table of contents that should appear somewhere at the top of this page (usually on the upper right hand side). Under the targeted heading, click the appropriate link to add a new question. Your new question will initially appear on this page. However, when it is answered, editors may decide to show it only in the subpage for the category you put it in. Therefore, if you do not see your question here, use the links below to see the full list of questions for your category.
