Hiya, and welcome to the project wiki!

Welcome to the One Laptop per Child wiki. Please make yourself at home; read through the [[Table of Contents]] and [[OLPC FAQ|FAQ]], and take a look around. If you need a general wiki-tutorial, [http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial Wikieducator has some excellent ones].

Some possible pages of interest:
* [[Pictures]]
* [[Ask OLPC a Question]]
* [[OS images for emulation]]
* [[Rollout and community building ideas]]

Check your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] and be sure you verify your email address and turn on email notification if you'd like it -- you can find out when your talk page, or any page on your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]], is modified. You may want to upload a photo or information about yourself to your userpage (examples: [[User:Lauren|1]], [[User:Xavi|2]]).

Some open tasks:

Feel free to leave me a note on my [[User talk:Sj|talk page]] if you have further questions or need help finding your way around.

Cheers, [[User:Sj|Sj]]

== Test Results? ==

Hi Skierpage,

Did you try joyride 2230?

Did it work well for you? Any comments or input on it welcome. Leave a note here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/8.2.0#Put_Your_Name_Here_to_Confirm_You_Will_Try_the_Release_Candidate or on my talk page or e-mail me or devel.

Thanks,

: I did, it basically went well! Only a few minor issues from my notes above to Trac. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 21:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

== Coooooookie Crips ==

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Special:Log/move, heh, awesome [[User:Sethwoodworth|Seth]] 12:42, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

== smw : custom types and more ==

Hi Skier

[[user:mstone|mstone]] cant' sleep because he is worried about how to customize presentation of test results. In particular,
[[Property:Trac_bug_number]] shows trac numbers that a) have commas in their display format and b) don't link to trac pages.

Ideally, every time a trac number shows up in a query result it should link directly to a canonical trac url. This is easier if there's no comma involved :) but the more important point is that there are common use cases where you want a canonical link associated with a property.
: Yup. If you always want the link, then I think you have to write PHP code for a new datatype. That would also let you turn off the irritating commas that mess up workarounds like displaying query results with a template. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 07:38, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

we could have people enter an external url, including the linktext (say, just a number) rather than the dlo trac ticket number... but there seems to be something missing in that solution as well.

For related use cases where we want links associated with a property according to a simple rule, see [[template:test-case-query]]. (in that case, the fact that subjects always show up as links, with wikitext [[page|page]], was the frustration; a way to reflect on the name of a subject would be handy here.)

Please help! And explain what the latest updates on [http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_development_activities] are when you have time...

== MediaWiki:Recentchangestext ==

take a look at that page and tell me what you think; suggestions & updates welcome. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 07:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

== congrats on your mop ==

Dear Skier, you have entered into the ranks of the olpc wiki-sweepers. Please use your mop & broom for good! --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 08:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
: Thanks! I already deleted a third of the [[Special:BrokenRedirects]] -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 10:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

== wiki back up ==

I had to rebuild recentchanges, which requires a db lockdown for a minute. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 09:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
: which I was doing to rebuild newpages and others without the 7-day timeout that was limiting how far back you could look -- rather annoying for gathering vandal and edit statistics, or just welcoming new users! --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 09:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks for the wiki work! ==

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for all the work that you've been doing on the wiki - I've seen many of your edits around (categorization, etc.) and it's been making this place a much more pleasant environment to work in. Mad props! [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 21:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

== Apparent vandalism to [[Activities]] page ==
There was some inserting of odd HTML into this page that wasn't caught when a subsequent, legitimate, change was made. I don't know the purpose of the stuff that was added (I'm not an expert in HTML), but the effect is to conceal the special meaning of '==' and '===' style headings for the topics after the topic "Uploading new activities". I've seen this kind of thing inserted elsewhere and it was usually reverted as vandalism. Could you (or somebody) have a look? -- [[User:Davewa|Davewa]] 14:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

The same sort of problem is also present at the end of the <b>Content collections</b> section. -- [[User:Davewa|Davewa]] 18:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

: I think I cleaned it up. I suspect [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Special:Contributions/201.221.35.222|User 201.221.35.222]] tried to add a Spanish translation of that section by copying and pasting from some Wysiwyg tool, and completely botched it.

== thanks for smw-izing the test community meeting notes! ==

I had originally planned to fix up/SMW-icize the test community notes later tonight, but you totally beat me to it - thanks! [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 20:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== [[:Category:Software ideas]] ==
Whoops! I didn't mean to do that. [[User:AuntiMame|AuntiMame]] 13:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

== Re: Testing portion of the wiki ==

I saw [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Testing_meetings&diff=0&oldid=177904 this one] and grinned. I'm leaving it as-is right now, but we might move it back, just so you know; Michael Stone and I have been conversing about [[Community testing]] being closer to what [[Testing]] ought to be than [[Testing]] is now, so things might be shaking up on that portion of the wiki - just a heads-up.

As always, you amaze me with your awesomeness. I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given us over the last few weeks - months, really. You're a lifesaver, Skierpage. [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 15:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
== Activity/Queries page ==
Just noticed this (nice table!). But the entry for my StarChart activity doesn't indicate that it's part of Activities/Peru. And for some reason, I can't check the box for that in the form myself (though I can edit other information).
: (The above was -- 19:52, 10 December 2008 [[User:Davewa]] &mdash; please sign your talk page edits with <nowiki>--&nbsp;~~~~</nowiki>.) Anyway, works for me! Click [[StarChart]], click the [edit with form] tab, click the Activity group "Activities/Peru" checkbox, click [Show changes], click [Save Page]. -- [[User:Skierpage|skierpage]] 00:01, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
:: Sorry about not signing the edit, I forgot. For me, the checkboxes for Peru and G1G1 were disabled. Must be a user privelege thing. -- [[User:Davewa|Davewa]] 15:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks for the meeting notes cleanup! ==

Thanks for the [[Community testing meetings/2008-12-18]] cleanup - it's the tiny touches in janitorialship that make a big difference. :) [[User:Mchua|Mchua]]

== Country template ==

SPage, I replied to your comments [http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=User_talk:CharlesMerriam&diff=189971&oldid=189942| here]. Keep up the good work.[[User:Cjl|cjl]] 16:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== '''X'''O school '''S'''erver ==

Should it perhaps be '''X'''O school '''S'''erver, instead, as we are referring more specifically in these contexts to the technology over its place of use? --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 21:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
: Heh, I think I asked on some other talk page about the relationship of [[XS]] to the page [[School server]], and someone (Martin?) replied and wasn't sure what the acronym stood for. Sure, XO school Server makes sense to me. -- [[User:Skierpage|skierpage]] 21:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
