==wireless==
The wireless mac number: I presume this is the only location for the MAC address: there is no mac address in the wireless logic itself? I don't believe in dupicating information that may become inconsistent. What is the format of this string? (presuming
it is a string).

==locale==
I'm not sure language is appropriate in the area at all. What is this going to be used for?

The software load has a default locale already, and multiple languages may be supported
by a single software load. We've been working hard to not have to localize the BIOS
user-interface by using iconic representations, both to avoid the manufacturing headaches and because the machines are often being used by kids/parents not yet literate.

Keyboard types, however, are very important to know (and while are usually related to language, they aren't necessarily a one-to-one mapping). There are actually 2 pieces to
this: the physical layout of the keys (physical size and position of keyboards), of which there will be relatively few variations (but there will be some variation), and how the keys are labeled (a silkscreening like process). There will be many, many of those.
But you want to have both pieces of information.

== Include calibration data for "everything analog" too? ==
if they are tested anyway it might make sense to include:
* Calibration data for battery voltage and current measurement
* Sensitivity/output power/frequency deviation of WLAN
* Write speed to NAND (sorry I maybe ''completely'' off track but some internally timed flash devices exhibit an increased programming time toward end-of-life. No idea whether this would be available on the NAND used)
* Display brightness (RGB)
* Reading of MIC input in Analog Input Mode
* Touchpad calibration
* Temperature at which the tests were performed


== Consistent date format within tags, YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD prefered? ==
The dates included within the tags seem to use two different date formats:
T#: 20061113-B001
SD: 14/11/2006
Please go for YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD (ISO8601). Some reasoning given there: http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/software/isodates/index.html --[[User:Frief|Frief]] 08:18, 20 November 2006 (EST)

== Orphaned? ==

Checking the [[Special:Lonelypages|Orphaned pages]] I found this one... which doesn't seem very logical. There are 142 other 'lost' pages, some are definitely worth losing, others, I'm in no position to tell. Thought I raised the issue. --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 22:16, 2 December 2006 (EST)

:Maybe this page is worth losing, since I can't even edit it. That's probably why there are so many lost pages; in general all the logical places to link from have been "protected". (this "protection" is like not being able to repair the roof on a historic building) [[User:AlbertCahalan|AlbertCahalan]] 17:53, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

:: I'm no position to argue if this page should be protected or not—although it seems to harbor some hard data that could prove sensitive if edited carelesly or by mistake.
:: Notwithstanding, an orphan page can only be de-orphaned by ''editing other pages'', so its ''protected'' status is irrelevant... --[[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 18:44, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

:::I meant that differently. '''This''' page is difficult to usefully de-orphan because so many '''other''' pages are protected. I could de-orphan it by linking it from your talk page, but that sure wouldn't be useful. I did in fact find a semi-useful place to link it from, but there were many better places that I was unable to edit. Going the other way, I can't use this page to de-orphan something else. I could copy the page to something editable, but that probably isn't so great for the quality of this wiki. Most of the protected pages have very few links to other pages, despite obvious need. I suppose you could fix the problem by handing out admin rights to all non-spammer users, but unprotecting all the pages looks like the logical solution. [[User:AlbertCahalan|AlbertCahalan]] 21:28, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

:::What I don't understand is why you don't just make suggestions on the discussion pages of the protected pages when you think there are changes that should be made? --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:41, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

::::In linking a wiki, overall quality comes from a great number of very tiny changes. I could indeed say "under header W, Nth sentence in the Mth paragraph (currently starting with "X"), please link the word Y to article Z. I could do that hundreds or thousands of times. That would be way too tedious for me, almost certainly way too tedious for you (but I don't know your personality), and a major source of talk page pollution. There is also something unpleasant about working hard to write complicated notes that might never get noticed. [[User:AlbertCahalan|AlbertCahalan]] 22:21, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

== Make the length byte unsigned ==

I am new to this, but how about making the length byte unsigned, since the 8th bit of this byte is unused.

== more dates? ==

When is the software download date (SWDL) set? Do we need an activation date as well (for warranty purposes)?

== need editing instructions ==

Nothing is said about how to repair defective data from the "ok" prompt. People, especially developers and people doing repairs, may need to...

*add a tag with no data
*add a tag with a string
*delete a tag
*modify a tag
*list the tags

:To list the tags, just do '''.mfg-data''' at the '''ok''' prompt. For tag deletion and hints at the other stuff, see the [[tag editing]] page.

== AK flag ==

What is the rationale for adding the AK column to the keyboard table? I see the rationale for adding it to a SKU table, but it is otherwise entirely uncorrelated with keyboards. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 12:52, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

== Page title should be "Manufacturing data" not "Manufacturing Data" (2nd word lowercase) ==

The wiki redirects you to the first title anyway. But internally it refers to itself by the wrong title.
: You are correct, resolved with page move to "Manufacturing data" with redirect from "Manufacturing Data" [[User:Cjl|cjl]] 03:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pashto ==

Pashto keyboard says "pa-olpc" under KV. Is this right? [[User:Cjl|cjl]] 05:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
