OLPC:Community Portal

This page is for the discusion of this wiki and how to better inform those interested in the OLPC project. If you have any questions about the OLPC project please see the OLPC_FAQ and if you still have questions see the Ask OLPC a Question Page.

This Wiki is an evolving effort and becuase there's this is such a new Wiki there's lots of work to do.

To Do List

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.

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.

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?

Wiki Discusion

Some Clarity is needed here. What is the Purpose of this section? It's unclear to me. --Stranger 22:40, 13 June 2006 (EDT)

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?
