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].

Adam,

&nbsp; Walter [[User_talk:Walter#Updating_wiki_pages.2C_any_priorities.3F|forwarded]] me to you about any preferences or priorities OLPC might have for me to doing wiki page edits and updates. I've been randomly doing little updates as I stumbled upon them, but was thinking you might have a better focus of my time right now.

Adam,

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I have been trying out one of my own templates on a few pages, to see if it helps with readability and user-friendliness. [[Template:RightTOC]] I've implemented on -

# [[System Software]]
# [[Software projects]]
# [[Software ideas]]
# [[OLPC Publications]]

Please let me know your thoughts, and if I should continue added this template to pages which need some help. Or I should refrain from using it. Thanks, --[[User:IainDavidson|IainD]] 02:45, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Priorities and Preferences for wiki edits.

Adam,

  Walter forwarded me to you about any preferences or priorities OLPC might have for me to doing wiki page edits and updates.

Please let me know how I can best help out, thanks.. --IainD 02:45, 6 January 2008 (EST)


New Template - Right TOC

Adam,

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I have been trying out one of my own templates on a few pages, to see if it helps with readability and user-friendliness. Template:RightTOC I've implemented on -

  2. Software projects
  3. Software ideas
  4. OLPC Publications

Please let me know your thoughts, and if I should continue added this template to pages which need some help. Or I should refrain from using it. Thanks, --IainD 02:45, 6 January 2008 (EST)
