How much interest has there been in your Esperanto OEPC effort? I'm willing to offer what little help I can, so if you have anything in particular that needs to be done, just say the word.

I was also thinking a Project Page on Vikipedio like the one that the English Wikipedia has, would be useful.

I just noticed this:

(User rename log); 17:31 . . Sj (Talk | contribs) (has renamed User:Fucking idiot to User:Fid: 10 edits. Reason: )

"Fid" is a nice username. It's a shame to make it unavailable. If you must rename, something like u154970135 would be a good choice.

IMHO there is no need though, since nobody is going to go digging through the list of users.

== hi SJ, ==

Honestly, I was never an admin at NWE, so it'll be new. I just made templates or fixed templates that wasn't working. For vandalism, I could check recent changes and catch one, or if you are developing a bot, I can vandalize on purpose to see if the bot will catch it. Am I already an admin now? It'll be great if you can post me something like welcome to OLPC but for admins so I could read how to use my powers :P. --[[User:Hiro|Hiro]] 12:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hi SJ, ok no problem. Is there something specific you will like for me to work on? I wish the main page could be changed to be more... easily viewed instead of bunch of links, but I wouldn't be able to design it from scratch. Just thought I'll throw in the idea. Are there pages that need clean up or with broken templates? Feel free to let me know. --[[User:Hiro|Hiro]] 17:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

== TOC/heading question ==

On a page like [[Sugar Almanac]] in a section like [[Sugar Almanac#Package: sugar]] how would we link to the headings on [[Sugar.env]]? --erikb

: I'm not sure quite what you want to do. The TOC comes from the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Sugar Almanac TOC|Sugar Almanac TOC]]}} template... which is long and can't easily be compressed into that three-line section for the sugar Package. Can you explain which headings you want to link to? the same ones that are currently in [[Sugar Almanac#Package: sugar]], but with a different format? --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 22:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I would like to create a new TOC which can list the headings on different pages. For example, in this new TOC, I would like to list all of the subheadings on linked-to pages.

[[Sugar.graphics.toolbutton]]

* [[Sugar.graphics.toolbutton#How_do_I_create_my_own_custom_tool_button.3F]]

* [[Sugar.graphics.toolbutton#How_do_I_connect_my_tool_button_to_a_callback.3F]]

* [[Sugar.graphics.toolbutton#What_is_a_tooltip_and_how_do_I_set_it_for_my_tool_button.3F]]

* [[Sugar.graphics.toolbutton#How_do_I_reset_the_icon_displayed_for_my_tool_button.3F]]

[[Sugar.profile]]

* [[Sugar.profile#How_do_I_get_the_user.27s_nick_name.3F]]

* [[Sugar.profile#How_do_I_get_the_XO_colors_set_by_the_user.3F]]

Can I provide a TOC with a list of pages and have the wiki automatically list the subheadings on those pages? We would like to see all of the Almanac's answered questions on one page.

== Hello ==

I am new to the OLPC wiki. I was assigned to prepare a Deployment guide for OLE Nepal. I created the page but I don't know if it meets the standards of the OLPC wiki. Could you take a look and leave suggestions at the talk page. Thank you. [[User:Pradosh|Pradosh]] 05:36, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

== Checking up ==

Hi SJ,

I recently made an [[Projects/dhading | application]] for some development laptops through the contributors' program, which I understand was approved. I was hoping to get started soon and just wanted to check if the laptops have been sent and if not when I could expect them.

Thanks,

Gerry Healy


I'll be leaving Nepal in June 2009 so I have some time constraints to work on the [[Projects/dhading | Dhading project]]. I have had delays at my own end also, but for it to be realistic in this time frame. I need some development machines soonish. I may be able to borrow some from OLE. Would that be a better option? [[User:Nickel chrome|Nickel chrome]] 11:03, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

== Bundles vs. collections ==

These days there are
* [[Activities]], <tt>.xo</tt> files which show up in the Home view
* [[Collections]], <tt>.xol</tt> files which show up in the OLPC Library.

So I think [[:Category:Activity_bundle]] should only be for the .xo file put on wiki.laptop.org , not for the wiki page it comes from.

I'm not sure what [[:Category:Bundles]] is for.
: all [[bundles]], activity, library, generic. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]]

Also, [[:Category:Activity_bundle]] says:
: Activites that provide a <tt>.xo</tt> bundle should declare so ...
but I thought all Activities provide a .xo file.
:: If you define it that way, then this is true. That's probably clean; it leaves items such as individual etoys projects in limbo until they are packaged.

BTW, I'm adding all [[Collections]] I find to [[:Category:Collections]] and it seems other categorizations of them are redundant.
: Which other categoriations? That category should itsefl be in [[:Category:Bundles]]. Thanks for the update! --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 18:52, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

== Decisions about Projects ==

The workflow for new projects is not clear to me. Who decides about a project and how often? AFAIC decisions are made on weekly meetings, but my project has not been touched in the projectdb for 5 weeks. And why are projects hidden in the projectdb? If there is nothing happening for weeks someone else might submit a similar project, or even the same. This is a duplication of work for both the submitters and the decision makers. Is there a way to make the process more transparent? --[[User:Cwickert|Cwickert]] 14:09, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
: the plan is to move the whole thing, minus the sharing of address/phone info at the end, to the wiki and [[projects]] page. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 14:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== Communication ==
What are the official channels for development related communication? #olpc and #olpc-help were not very helpful because noone was able to answere my questions. #olpc-devel is orphaned.
Also I wonder if editing wiki pages is a good way for direct one on one communication. Isn't there something else if I wanted to reach you? --[[User:Cwickert|Cwickert]] 14:09, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== Activity web pages vs. Projects/ subpages ==

Hey sj, as I wrote devel@lists.laptop.org I wrote [[Maintaining activity web information]].

If activities remain on w.l.o and use the [Edit with form], anyone can make a lists of activities that stays up-to-date instead of messing with templates and fragments and transclusions. See [[Activity queries]]. To me, this is clearly the way forward.

But there's a lot of stuff I don't understand.

* Many activities also have an Activities/''Name'' page that's got an ugly summary template. Often it's a link to Projects/''Name'', e.g. [[Activities/Etoys]]. I believe these are confusing and redundant. Can I delete them? If not, is there an explanation of what these pages are for?

* [[Creating an activity]] has buttons to Create activity summary and [Create an activity]. I don't understand why there are two buttons and I don't think either is an appropriate template for an activity. What should an activity's page look like?

* Some of the Projects/ subpages aren't activities, e.g. [[Projects/Translation_dictionary]] is a collection. What are/were you trying to achieve with Projects/ subpages? I see references to a projects DB, is there such a thing?
** If you want to make a list of projects e.g. on the [[Projects]] page, semantics are the way to do it.
** So I'm not sure if all the project template machinery is redundant. I don't know whether to mark it obsolete or update it to set semantic properties.
* Is any clean-up and improvement on w.l.o irrelevant if activities are moving to sugarlabs.org ?!

Like so many areas on wiki.laptop.org, I see the results of an idea but not the plan for it, so I'm not sure how to improve on it.

Thanks for any elucidation!

== Invitation/Brandeis/Social Justice and Technology Conference ==

Dear Mr. Klein,

Charles Nesson suggested I be in touch with you. The International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life at Brandeis University is hosting a conference called TMI (Too Much Information): Social Justice in the Age of Facebook on September 10 and 11, 2009. We would like to invite you to speak at the main session on September 11 from 9-11 am, "Does Digital Deepen the Divide?" We believe that you, with your role at One Laptop Per Child, would present a unique and valuable perspective on the question of technological access for children internationally, and whether access to new technologies and computers helps bridge the divides among individuals and societies, or whether it increases the gaps.

I would love to talk to you further about this conference and give you additional detail. Can you contact me at sgwilson@brandeis.edu? I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Best,
Stephanie Gerber Wilson, PhD
Brandeis University

== Template:test-case-query question ==

Greetings SJ,

I'm slowly getting familiar with semantic+mediawiki in an effort to determine if this will meet my needs. I'm using the laptop.org QA pages as a reference for sample queries, forms and templates. However, I'm stuck trying to understand a particular problem where mediawiki will not expand a nested template properly using the <nowiki>{{fullurl:...}}</nowiki> parser function.

As one of the original authors of the Template:Add-test-result and Template:Test-case-query pages, I thought you might have insight to this mediawiki-ism. This is likely a new-user problem, but any experiences you can share around the SMW implementation for laptop.org would be appreciated. You can see the page that currently is presenting difficulty at https://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Testing_SMW. I can be reached at jlaska AT fedoraproject DOT org. I hope to hear from you soon :)

Thanks,
James
: I don't think you can embed parser functions the way you were trying to. But the extension is coming along quickly - you should drop a question at the SMW central wiki for the most accurate answer. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 05:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

== Collab Conundrum ==

Hi Sj. I just answered your question [[User talk:Mark.Burnett#Plan|on my talk page]], which reminded me of a wiki collaboration conundrum I was thinking about earlier that maybe you can help with. Presumably the only way you would know I replied to your question is either if you watch my talk page, in which case you also get emailed whenever anyone else talks to me, which you may not want, or to remember to go back and check. This works fine for small numbers of conversations, but I am preparing to look across the whole wiki and may want to talk to all sorts of people. Are you aware of any ways of doing this that allow email updates but keep it relevant to the conversations I am in? The only way I can think of at the moment is to invite people in to my talk page and hold all the conversations there. Do you have a better suggestion?

== Review of approach and updates to the wiki ==

Hi Sj, As you know I am working on [[Improving the Deployment Toolkit]]. As part of this I think its important that what is done here is repeatable, so I have also created a [[Deployment Guide/Creating a new release]] process, which I plan to follow and evolve during the course of this project with the idea being that others could then do the same the next time there are enough new lessons learned, or enough new XO technology to merit another refresh of the guide. For the same reason I am also creating pages for [[Improving the Deployment Toolkit/Interview scripts|Interview scripts]] to help people working on refreshing the guides get the most out of the lessons learned in the field.

It would be useful to have one or two people within OLPC who I could use as a sounding board to sanity check that what I am doing makes sense and also to review new content added to the wiki or plans for restructuring as described in the [[Draft Deployment Guide]] before we finally take all of that and create a new version of the Google Doc.

From your role as described on your wikipedia talk page, it seems like you should be one of those people. Do you agree? Do you have time? And can you suggest anyone else?
