I'm a fan of the activity myself :) I note via olpcn you're finding development frustrating -- I'd like to know more about what in particular troubles you, particularly with internationalization. I take it you haven't used gettext before for the i18n part... that's the toolchain you want to use to generate pot files that can be localized by others (see [[pootle]] for more). --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 17:53, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for the tweezers suggestion - I've added those to the list. (Feel free to edit it, and any other wiki page, directly as well!)

The developer tutorials are getting done more slowly than I'd like - I've been asked to focus on grassroots stuff for my internship (rather than development/tutorials). I'm going to try to start clearing weekend and evening time to work on them; your message was a big motivator that reminded me that they'd be helpful and I should do them. Keep in mind I'm new to all this stuff as well, so I don't necessarily know "best practices" - I'm just writing down the things I find that work for me, hopefully in a format useful to other people.

tweezers & tutorials

Thanks for the tweezers suggestion - I've added those to the list. (Feel free to edit it, and any other wiki page, directly as well!)

I'm going to try to start clearing weekend and evening time to work on them; your message was a big motivator that reminded me that they'd be helpful and I should do them.
