general notes

1. zine name, predecessors : mozillazine, &c. xoxo (last issue Sept 2007), OLPC:Wiki News, OLPC:News,

2. wordpress/blog system • give out subdomains of olpcblog.org or other. • email newsletter -- email * OTD • recommended rss feeds • phil - adamantly? virulently? anti-blog for a while.

3. ian davidson -- weekly summary : on wikinews. 4. phil -- wikibooks.laptop.org for levelled readers, &c.

5. comparison : chumby and bunnie. open source implementing closed flash widgets. cool hacking community based around it. bunnie chong did a lot of the original xbox hacks too... xboxlinux & dashboard. popular guy. the chumby blog wasn't a great implementation, but was fine.

6. evolution to a community-driven wiki. change terminology... "this page is maintained by OLPC staff" ?

7. Site map. how to help people participate. have a flowchart : are you a programmer? y/n illustrator? &c. and guiding people to ongoing projects/portals. seth: so carol, doing levelled readers could plug illustrators into ? idea: categories by 'X needed'

8. Seth : wants to coordinate flickr things.

9. for most people I have no idea what people are up to.

10. ways to chat about what people work on.

: blog post when a new project gets started
: update sections in the wiki where developers are linked
: poke dev and other lists to encourage ppl to update that

Ian -- page focus : developers, general users, &c. Talk with Kate? about suborganizing

11. get an intern to poke all the contributors and developers... ask them tpo update things and become a real part of the community.

12. PhilB -- cafl came into our group to help; she was in grassroots... now doing lots of other things.
