== Product News Page == |
|||
What was your reason for removing 'OLPC' from the Product News Page? This is still a page maintained by OLPC, but I cleaned it up today because we expect countries are going to start referring to the page for solid information in regards to peripherals. [[User:JoshSeal|JoshSeal]] 17:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC) |
|||
: I agree with your observations. Although I think its important to have a page that new countries interested in OLPC can refer to and gain at least an approximate understanding of what's available. Who has the Solar price list? Richard? Also, I think the Handcrank should be put in a new section such as 'past products' with a summary of why it didn't work rather than just removing it - otherwise people will always ask "what ever happened to the hand crank?". I'll make these changes. |
|||
: I consider this page more useful and relevant for countries rather than G1G1 - they can just go to XO Explosion. It should thus be designed that way. Each product does have its own pages I think, I'll add them. I speak to Richard often regarding tech power issues, but I was hoping someone was in charge of costs for all the products... |

== Hey, Dinosaur book idea... == |
|||
I was working on creating a program with dinosaur information and I tried making an eBook which would explain dinosaurs in a picture-book sort of way... I just wrote this up over the weekend so let me know what your input is: |

Just thought to give a shout-out to some our editorial board, to let them know of some recent updates I did for 'Issue 0 (pilot)'. |
|||
Took the day off from work (easy when one works for oneself, I just had to ask myself for a day off. :)... get a few items done... |
|||
I created am improved layout and structure to help seed ideas and encourage submissions. I went through all the notes and ideas, laid them out best i could in this structure. (and as always, open to feedback and opinions :). |
|||
Hopefully, this will make it easier, and encourage people to add more entries and submissions. *hint* *hint* *hint* *poke* *prod* "Say no more* *say no more* *wink* *wink* |

Dear Weth, you are now an [[administrators|admin]]. Use your tools with care and in good health. Be particularly careful about page protection -- avoid it wherever possible, and unprotect pages when the cause has passed. --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 02:13, 10 February 2008 (EST) |

== Liva repos page == |
|||
Hi Seth, thanks for writing. I understand your edit at the XMMS page and I'm glad to help with your other pages, but I must say that I don't know much about Fedora's repositories. I'll keep an eye out for a Livna page and I'll try to improve it where I can. |

Yo, Seth - are you still alive? Trying to sync up re [[Health Jam]] ping me sometime (any medium - call me, even, when you're free, my number's on my userpage). [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 10:59, 1 April 2008 (EDT) |

== Weather Stations == |
|||
Seth, |
|||
I would love to explore the integration of the XO or XS with low cost weather observation equipment/stations. If this is something you would like to seriously consider, I might be able to bring together a team of Air Force Weather veterans and experts to work on this project. Let me know, and thanks again for the welcome. |

== re: cluttering on the wiki == |
|||
Yep, you called [[Preinstalled XS]] out correctly. It's clutter that I don't have firm plans to get back to (although it's fresh in my mind and will likely be spinning around there in the next few days). I had approximately 5 minutes to type before running for the train, and (imo) poorly-discoverable clutter is better than nonexistence - you found the page and did something about it, did you not? ;) |
|||
I'm not a green volunteer, so I've seen the threshold above which activation energy will be too high for enough people to change their habits enough such that a meme takes hold - and I'm trying to find ways to lower these barriers as well. |
|||
If the desire is to have people put the things you listed in all their pages, here's one thing to do: make templates and make it insanely easy to use them - or better, make it require effort to ''not'' use them (that is, have them on by default - not sure if/how this is possible). See [[Template:Project]] and [[Template:Jam]] - though using those templates themselves requires effort, they fill stuff in with decent defaults. |
|||
Now if things could be scripted such that every new page created by link text in the [[Open projects]] list (or by clicking a button on that page) would start out as that template - actually, give me a second... |
|||
*tinkertinkertinker* |
|||
All right, look at [[Open projects]] and let me know what you think. Or better yet, improve. |

== Activity-summary update == |
|||
Can you update the spans in the [[Template:Activity-summary|activity-summary]] template so that they match that used on the current [[activities]] page? then we can finally move over to the [[activities/tmp]] style before the onslaught of new activity devs & updates. |

== Developing countries... == |
|||
The question arises (at least to me) - could useful implements be fabbed that would benefit people within developing countries? Or perhaps this sort of technology could be used as a means of learning. I'll have to think more about this, and if it is alright, I will definitely not hesitate to share thoughts if they happen upon me. Do possible answers to how Fab@Home technology could be used in developing countries occur to you? [[User:Remi|Remi]] 03:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC) |

== More Fab@Home == |
|||
Hi Seth, |
|||
I found out from Diane Serley (on the RepRap forums) that you've got a Fab@Home that you are looking to experiment with. I'm currently leading Cornell's Fab@Home efforts and I'd like to hear a bit more about what you are doing with it and if we can help. Please contact me at my Fab@Home [http://fabathome.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:MaxLobovsky page] --Max 02:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC) |

:Well getting it running under *nix (without WINE) would be a good project in itself. If you really don't have any ideas, I suggest you put it together and start playing with it. Good luck and let me know if you'd like to discuss any ideas. --Max |
