Some OLPC Wiki pages cannot be viewed using an XO, usually because the page links to image files that are excessively large. The first step to solving this problem is to make a list of such difficult wiki web pages. Then we can choose to either fix the XO software to better deal with these difficult pages, or we can fix the wiki pages. Or both.
Testing tools: An XO with web browsing software, such as Browse activity or Firefox activity. The Help activity is a limited-function browser that can also surf into the wiki or the web.
Setup: Connect your XO to the Internet and launch a web browser activity, such as Browse or Firefox or Help.
Procedure: Test the following links with your XO, and edit this wiki page as you see fit, based on your observations. Add or remove links as needed. As XO software improves, there should be fewer and fewer links here. A web page is toxic when it freezes or crashes the XO, or otherwise causes considerable user frustration.
Toxic OLPC Wiki pages
Hardware specification has some large images that freeze or crash the XO.
Measure caused Browse to freeze.
Toxic non-OLPC web pages
Add links here only to non-OLPC outside web pages that are of extreme interest to many XO users and that are toxic to the XO.
