Hiya, and welcome to the project wiki!
Welcome to the One Laptop per Child wiki. Please make yourself at home; read through the Table of Contents and FAQ, and take a look around. If you need a general wiki-tutorial, Wikieducator has some excellent ones.
Some possible pages of interest:
Check your preferences and be sure you verify your email address and turn on email notification if you'd like it -- you can find out when your talk page, or any page on your watchlist, is modified. You may want to upload a photo or information about yourself to your userpage (examples: 1, 2).
Some open tasks:
- Edit Patrol: recent changes, new pages
- General Cleanup: Category:cleanup
- Expand Articles: Category:stub
- Translation: Localization
Feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you have further questions or need help finding your way around.
Cheers, Sj
Test Results?
Hi Skierpage,
Did you try joyride 2230?

Thanks,

- I did, it basically went well! Only a few minor issues from my notes above to Trac. -- Skierpage 21:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

smw : custom types and more
Hi Skier
mstone cant' sleep because he is worried about how to customize presentation of test results. In particular, Property:Trac_bug_number shows trac numbers that a) have commas in their display format and b) don't link to trac pages.
Ideally, every time a trac number shows up in a query result it should link directly to a canonical trac url. This is easier if there's no comma involved :) but the more important point is that there are common use cases where you want a canonical link associated with a property.
- Yup. If you always want the link, then I think you have to write PHP code for a new datatype. That would also let you turn off the irritating commas that mess up workarounds like displaying query results with a template. -- Skierpage 07:38, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
we could have people enter an external url, including the linktext (say, just a number) rather than the dlo trac ticket number... but there seems to be something missing in that solution as well.
For related use cases where we want links associated with a property according to a simple rule, see template:test-case-query. (in that case, the fact that subjects always show up as links, with wikitext page, was the frustration; a way to reflect on the name of a subject would be handy here.)
Please help! And explain what the latest updates on [1] are when you have time...
- That's very old. The Germans are developing SMW 1.3 features. -- Skierpage 07:38, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Recentchangestext
take a look at that page and tell me what you think; suggestions & updates welcome. --Sj talk 07:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
congrats on your mop
Dear Skier, you have entered into the ranks of the olpc wiki-sweepers. Please use your mop & broom for good! --Sj talk 08:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I already deleted a third of the Special:BrokenRedirects -- Skierpage 10:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
wiki back up
I had to rebuild recentchanges, which requires a db lockdown for a minute. --Sj talk 09:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- which I was doing to rebuild newpages and others without the 7-day timeout that was limiting how far back you could look -- rather annoying for gathering vandal and edit statistics, or just welcoming new users! --Sj talk 09:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the wiki work!
Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for all the work that you've been doing on the wiki - I've seen many of your edits around (categorization, etc.) and it's been making this place a much more pleasant environment to work in. Mad props! Mchua 21:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Apparent vandalism to Activities page
There was some inserting of odd HTML into this page that wasn't caught when a subsequent, legitimate, change was made. I don't know the purpose of the stuff that was added (I'm not an expert in HTML), but the effect is to conceal the special meaning of '==' and '===' style headings for the topics after the topic "Uploading new activities". I've seen this kind of thing inserted elsewhere and it was usually reverted as vandalism. Could you (or somebody) have a look? -- Davewa 14:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
The same sort of problem is also present at the end of the Content collections section. -- Davewa 18:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think I cleaned it up. I suspect [201.221.35.222] tried to add a Spanish translation of that section by copying and pasting from some Wysiwyg tool, and completely botched it.
thanks for smw-izing the test community meeting notes!
