Documentation

OLPC hardware and software is designed to be discoverable so that a user can figure things out by experimentation. We are preparing teachers by extensively lecturing and writing about how the devices might be leveraged. The OLPC laptops will come with e-books documenting how to use them, and technical details needed by application developers are available on the web including this wiki.

Examples: see the user interface guidelines and a draft developers handbook.

There are many audiences for the laptops and their software and content; some of them may need to create their own instructional material, or their own versions of existing material. This wiki is open for development of such material. If you have created your own documentation -- for instance, text, screenshots, video or animation for the hardware or specific software that is being turned into an activity -- note it here.
