Talk:Simplified user guide

Connect

The Connect activity has been removed from Ship.2 and Update.1 because the game functionality is unfinished. It will most likely be finished and added for Update.2 - so I recommend removing it from this user guide. morgs 03:24, 28 November 2007 (EST)

Removed it temporarily - I went ahead and removed the section... I can see the Connect Activity on the emulation of the 625 build. I'll continue to watch for changes to the Activity list.

You should be looking at Build 650+ for Ship.2 bits. Regards. --Walter 07:48, 15 December 2007 (EST)

I think the emulations are a little bit behind but will upgrade when I can. I don't see one in the latest joyride build in http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/olpc/streams/joyride/build1435/devel_ext3/ but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for that version? A little help? annegentle 10:28, 17 December 2007 (EST)

Images out of date

Many of the screen shots are not very reflective of the Ship.2 versions of the activities. Also, the triangle is no longer used on the mesh. --Walter 18:35, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Removed triangle icon - Thanks for catching that. I will continue to update screenshots. annegentle 00:41, 15 December 2007 (EST)

Terminology, current wording.

FYI,

 Current OLPC 'consensus' about wording of the 'function keys' (F1,F2,F3,F4)...  

• F1 - Neighborhood view (not World or mesh)
• F2 - Group view (not friends)
• F3 - Home view
• F4 - Activity (not Application)

I can update appropriately, if that is helpful. --IainD 04:19, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Yes, please do update where appropriate. Thanks! annegentle 14:12, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Confusing section headings

The activities seem to be grouped somewhat arbitrarily under somewhat inconsistent heading. Is the reason for this?

1. Playing with the XO
   • EToys
2. Sharing and expressing with the XO
   • Chat
3. Learning and Exploring with the XO
   • Browse the Internet
   • Read
   • Measure
   • Pippy
   • Watch and Listen
   • Calculate
   • Draw
   • News Reader
   • Memorize
   • Write
   • Quick keyboard shortcuts
4. Viewing, creating, and capturing images
   • Turtle Art
   • TamTam Jam
5. Talking and recording with the microphone
   • Record

Also, the keyboard shortcuts seems completely out of place. --Walter 03:02, 8 January 2008 (EST)
