Kids encyclopedia

Dear Samuel,

Thanks for taking the time to send me a comment on my blog. Im available most days of the week, as I currently am working for myself. Im based in Swansea in the UK. So phoning maybe rather on the expensive. However I would be happy to talk over skype. If you are willing to suggest a time I will be happy to chat. Preferably I would prefer to be in bed by 3am here.

So if you could give me an email back at jonhurlock/at/gmail /.com or add me on skype using jon_hurlock (yes theres and underscore in there, so please dont remove that, just remove slashes from the gmail account.).

Kind regards,

Jon Hurlock

Hola!

I'm just kicking myself...

for not paying closer attention and getting an OLPC XO during the GIGO... I like what you all have done with this wiki, it has some neat touches! ++Lar: t/c 22:31, 18 January 2008 (EST)

PS, I just added added [[OLPC:]] as http://wiki.laptop.org/go/$1 to meta:Interwiki map (that is, to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map )... if that's not what you all had in mind please pop by the talk page. It looks like you're not using the interwiki map here though??? ++Lar: t/c 22:37, 18 January 2008 (EST)

a request

Contact OLPC page is protected with cascading option, so its translations bar cannot be modified now. Would you please change it? -- LeeSI 00:04, 19 January 2008 (EST)

done. --Sj leave me a message

de nada?

Just curious - which front page links? I've been in sweep mode -- cleaning my home for sale and trying to make the wiki, um, moderately readable ergo informative KatieStyle Nazi 11:49, 21 January 2008 (EST)

mediawiki extensions?

Moved to ... OLPC_talk:Wiki

I and others are gearing up a wiki welcome team (and supporting docs/pages). Can we get the Newuserlog extension installed to more easily welcome newbies? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Newusers for an example usage you've probably looked at thousands of times over. ;) Mchua 14:57, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Also see Wiki getting started, which I think you'll appreciate. Mchua 15:43, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Health content xls files

With regard to the recently added support in wiki for viewing excel (xls) files created in google spreadsheet to be viewed as simple html tables within wiki. It'd be great if we could copy paste the contents of the various xls files there and use the wiki plugin to easily view them. See content section on health--Arjs 01:47, 29 January 2008 (EST)
