Why does this page exist? It doesn't seem to have a clear purpose or else it is drifted away from its original purpose.

--Aburton 15:32, 12 June 2006 (EDT): I think this page would be a good place to communicate exactly how we want the wiki organized, and the order in which things should be done.

Layout Priorities for OLPC Wiki

Feel free to comment, change or add on to the list of wiki imperatives. Discussion in this matter is essential.


Specific Page Goals

  • what is the purpose of the community portal?
  • what audience is a page intended for?
  • what types of pages are missing and should be added?
  • what pages need to be added to assist in navigating the wiki?

The pages in this section will be ones which need to be planned jointly and put together by multiple authors before being released to the Wiki. See below for article ideas that could be done by a single author working alone.

  1. General Public Introduction (to help the general public find the pages that are relevant to them without hunting through the entire Table of Contents)
  2. Content Developer Introduction (a navigation page targetted to people making ebooks and authoring educational content for the OLPC)

Work Plans for Specific Page Goals

General Public Introduction

This is a place holder. Ideally, we will build a page outline here and the someone will create the page, copy the outline over, and add content to the page. But only when it is ready.

Content Developer Introduction

This is a place holder. Ideally, we will build a page outline here and the someone will create the page, copy the outline over, and add content to the page. But only when it is ready.

Page Layout Standard

  • How should pages look?
  • Should we have page templates for people to use when creating a new page?

Language Management

This project is truly international and multilingual. There will be many language issues, both regarding the OLPC system software, the OLPC application software, the OLPC educational content, and the content of this Wiki itself. How can we manage all this in an orderly way. What things need to be in English and what things should be in other languages?

Pages That Need to be Condensed

Sometimes writers ramble on or they pull together content from several authors with a few glue words. If you see such a page on the Wiki, add a link to it here so that someone can go and rewrite the page in a more condensed and understandable fashion.

Articles That Need to be Written

List article ideas here, in particular, those articles that could be written by any intelligent person who has the time and the inclination to do an hour or two of research to collect material for the page.
