'''[http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Ask_OLPC_a_Question/New&action=edit§ion=new Ask OLPC a Question]''' is a set of pages dedicated to general questions about the project. |
|||
Questions about how to learn and use the XO can be posted to [[New Users]]. |
|||
= Before asking a question... = |
|||
* Read the "'''[[Official OLPC FAQ]]'''"; |
|||
* If you own an XO laptop, go through the official [http://www.laptop.org/en/laptop/start/ "getting started" guide]; if you still have technical questions afterwards, read the "'''[[Support FAQ]]'''"; |
|||
* Search the wiki for an answer to your questions (using the '''search''' field in the column on the left, or [http://www.google.com/custom?domains=laptop.org&sitesearch=laptop.org Google]), and add a targeted question or comment to the discussion associated with that page; |
|||
* Aside from the sections below (each of which can be viewed in expanded form using the links provided), there are several other pages which contain '''[[:Category:OLPC FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]]'''. Check them to see if your question is covered there. |
|||
* Some classes of questions have their own forums: |
|||
**'''To get a laptop''' for yourself, your young relatives, your NGO, etc., see [[Ask OLPC a Question about Distribution#Where or how can I get one?|'''this section''']]; |
|||
**'''To submit ideas''', see the '''[[OLPC Idea Pool]]'''. |
|||
**'''To answer a question''', use the "See all questions" link for that section, and then the "edit" link for the question. Sign your response (using the wiki convention of <nowiki>-- ~~~~</nowiki>). The community can discuss and revise your answer. Also, we would appreciate it if you use the "Reorganize questions" link to hide answered questions so they don't show on this page (instructions at [[Answering questions]]). |
|||
**'''To make general comments and suggestions, see the [[Talk:Main Page|main talk page]] or the "discussion" tab at the top of each page; |
|||
* There is a discussion page to dispel various [[OLPC myths|rumors]] about the project. |
|||
* There is a new developers FAQ at http://aaa.opensourcehost.com/~thoughts/faq/. |
