ALC request

Old account was Aclaver (not Aculver as you listed). I created a new account Alc to match your request that the TeamWiki user id match the RT and Wiki user ID.

Dear Samuel,

Thanks for taking the time to send me a comment on my blog. Im available most days of the week, as I currently am working for myself. Im based in Swansea in the UK. So phoning maybe rather on the expensive. However I would be happy to talk over skype. If you are willing to suggest a time I will be happy to chat. Preferably I would prefer to be in bed by 3am here.

So if you could give me an email back at jonhurlock/at/gmail /.com or add me on skype using jon_hurlock (yes theres and underscore in there, so please dont remove that, just remove slashes from the gmail account.).

Kind regards,

Jon Hurlock

Hola!

Hi! As usual you're monitoring recent changes! :) Great!

Yes, I'm coming back to life and noticed Lauren's notice in my talk page so I decided to answer that one asap, and then try to fully resurrect. I'll keep you posted (was writing en email to re-introduce myself). Xavi 21:19, 14 January 2008 (EST)

Video - Human Computation

SJ, happen to glance through one of your older versions of your User page. Cool video about human computation. Quite intertaining... hmmmm... interesting.. Thanks for sharing, --IainD 04:46, 15 January 2008 (EST)

I'm just kicking myself...

for not paying closer attention and getting an OLPC XO during the GIGO... I like what you all have done with this wiki, it has some neat touches! ++Lar: t/c 22:31, 18 January 2008 (EST)

PS, I just added added [[OLPC:]] as http://wiki.laptop.org/go/$1 to meta:Interwiki map (that is, to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map )... if that's not what you all had in mind please pop by the talk page. It looks like you're not using the interwiki map here though??? ++Lar: t/c 22:37, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Hello there, and welcome :-) not yet! see OLPC:Wiki and its talk page. --Sj leave me a message

a request

Contact OLPC page is protected with cascading option, so its translations bar cannot be modified now. Would you please change it? -- LeeSI 00:04, 19 January 2008 (EST)

done. --Sj leave me a message

de nada?

Just curious - which front page links? I've been in sweep mode -- cleaning my home for sale and trying to make the wiki, um, moderately readable ergo informative KatieStyle Nazi 11:49, 21 January 2008 (EST)

mediawiki extensions?

Moved to ... OLPC_talk:Wiki

I and others are gearing up a wiki welcome team (and supporting docs/pages). Can we get the Newuserlog extension installed to more easily welcome newbies? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Newusers for an example usage you've probably looked at thousands of times over. ;) Mchua 14:57, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Also see Wiki getting started, which I think you'll appreciate. Mchua 15:43, 25 January 2008 (EST)

This section has moved to OLPC:Requests for permissions. Please leave requests for teamwiki access and rt and other permissions there.

Health content xls files

With regard to the recently added support in wiki for viewing excel (xls) files created in google spreadsheet to be viewed as simple html tables within wiki. It'd be great if we could copy paste the contents of the various xls files there and use the wiki plugin to easily view them. See content section on health--Arjs 01:47, 29 January 2008 (EST)

GM clarification?

After our conversation on the nature of GM today, the GM section of the laptopfoundation.org website is not very explanatory according to my OLPC:Webpage_corrections_needed#laptopfoundation.org current understanding, and is something Walter or someone else with editing privs may want to fix. Mchua 00:32, 30 January 2008 (EST)

Community project review process

My notes from our talk over IRC today are on teamwiki at User:Mchua/Developers_program. Let me know if I'm still misunderstanding what you proposed. (I'm not wholly sure I agree with it yet, but I don't think I fully understand it yet - see the "cons" section of the community proposal - and want to make sure I "get it" before I voice an opinion.) Mchua 00:32, 30 January 2008 (EST)

University programs

Yeah, the page needs updating and more resources, as do grassroots groups. University program - or rather, Talk:University program - has some notes from today's conversations (not just with you, with other support-gangers and Arjun too) that need to be cleaned up and moved into mainpage eventually.

re: repair center stuff on teamwiki

I'm hesitant to push all of that to public wiki, since Adam said he's like to work with me and Kim to port it (there's some stuff not ready to go public, though I don't know what that stuff is - I've asked). If Adam/Kim says ok, I would love to push it public. (Heck, I've been trying to do that for at least 2 weeks.) Can you poke them about this since you're physically adjacent? Mchua 14:12, 30 January 2008 (EST)

Music

I cannot but agree. My duties? Maintain the music wiki page and find people interested in helping us with new music content? Andriani 2:05, 31 January 2008 (EST)

peer-review for Health

How/what might be the first steps for peer review for the health pages ? thanks. ? --Arjs

RfA

The OLPC version of an RfA I would like to apply for admin access on the wiki. I am frequently getting math-based captchas which are really slowing down my wiki-editing. It has been reported that Admins do not have this problem. Also, I would like to be an admin for the purposes of mass revocation of vandalism. is for Insects 17:18, 4 February 2008 (EST)

RE: zine work

You mean from the wiki? Not really, most of the cool stuff is in isforinsect's flickr group. Not exactly sure what you mean... ffm 19:33, 5 February 2008 (EST)

OLPC Europe.

Sj, great idea.... new section created.. Weekly_zine/0/OLPC_Europe have them update with summary of what they are working on.. Thanks for keeping your eyes open to new ideas! :) --ixo 03:03, 8 February 2008 (EST)

Zine - translations and /About page. :)

sj,

Added zine/About page, put an area to acknowledge translators..

 Weekly_zine/About#Translations_by

Please have translators update the acks, when they do translations so they can get recognized. :)

Thanks for the idea on the /About page, --ixo 03:54, 10 February 2008 (EST)

how to use a wiki page

discovered today that we have a How to use a wiki page, which may or may not fit into your/FFM's grand scheme of policy-creation (which I will subsequently add large "CHANGE THIS!" headers to.) possibly redundant with Wiki getting started. I'm trying to figure out how regulated/anarchic you want this place to be... 66.108.80.238 19:07, 15 February 2008 (EST)

It's at [1]. It is in european Portuguese, but it's also understandable by brasilians, as I didn't use fancy portugal-specific terms. HoboPrimate 14:21, 16 February 2008 (EST)

Millenium Village Project

I contacted some people at Columbia U, who does Millenium Village Project. They said that plans are underway to introduce XOs to Millenium Villages.
