I want to explore.

Add a New Task

To add a new task...

  1. Using the sample task page as a model, create a page on the OLPCWiki for your task.
  2. On your new task page, update the task template to reflect the following:
{{ Task
            | name     =    <!-- OPTIONAL -- some name for the task at hand -->
            | duration =    <!-- a number denoting the estimated time required -->
            | unit     =    <!-- { minutes | hours | days | weeks | months | years } -->
            | category =    <!-- { Programming | Education | Organizing | Translation | Other } -->
}}

This will ensure that your task can be located by people who would like to participate.
