People

Projects

Below is the list of projects we are working on or going to work. Please note, that except localization these are on concept definition stage yet and you are welcome to join with ideas and efforts.

Localization

The following resources are considered higher priority for localization:

  1. Pootle (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pootle)
  2. www.laptop.org (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization/www.laptop.org)
  3. Wiki - main page and content (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Main_Page and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Content)

This table contains a list of high priority entries for the Russian localization. If you are interested\willing\ready to translate one of these, feel free to enter you name and estimated time of competion in the appropriate cells.

For a glossary of translation terms please refer to Translation terms

Note, that due to dynamic nature of wiki, it is recommended to watch a page you are going to translate, in order to keep translation up-to-date with original.

As several people may work concurrently on a same wiki page, it would be nice to mark intermediate versions with "in progress" comment, so one could easily know that the page is being translated just now.

Sugar port to Nokia N770/800/810 tablet

Many of ideas of XO interface "Sugar" are very useful for generic "connected device" concept. Purpose of this project is to provide "proove-of-concept" Sugar implementation, running on Nokia platform.

Hierarchical distributed storage

One of the most important limitations of XO laptop is permanent storage space. 1G is not enough for many modern applications. So it would be interesting to provide a possibility to store user data on remote hosts. Store reliably (in multiple locations), with optimal access policy to ensure efficient use of bandwidth.
