How old is this article? Is there a reason new users need to wade through pages like this after searching wiki.laptop.org? And what does Ship.2 or whatever refer to? I know a bit of build 650, 653, 656 or numbers like that, never ship_2.... Somebody needs to take ownership of obsolete pages and put them somewhere somehow so when one is searching for help, they get more current info first. The articles need to state if they are build version specific, or attempt to cover <subject> for a set of build versions. The former articles can be obsoleted or depreceated? after some point, the latter need to be continually maintained. If this comment is out of line I have no problem is somebody who knows better removes it. 76.115.84.114 15:52, 19 June 2008 (EDT)


"known performance problems"

"Most of our effort to date has been consumed by basic device support as well as putting together the basic user interface framework for children, which has known performance problems."

This was to be expected, no? It's in Python. People use C if they care about performance. (with bits of assembly if they REALLY care)

(or FORTRAN maybe)

Terminal font in ctrl-alt-f1 window is tiny (unreadable)

This is http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1185
