Tasks

Refresh HIG The Sugar Human Interface Guidelines are a valuable resource for both developers and all interested in learning more about the design and interaction paradigms of the Sugar UI. Unfortunately, it has gone largely untouched since it's authoring over a year ago. I aim to complete a full pass over the HIG, updating images, ideas, and guidelines where appropriate, and noting categories in need of additional work and attempting to enlist individuals to assist in completing them.


Improve "get involved" page In the rush to push the revised laptop.org website live, we ran out of time to properly flesh out some of its pages. One in particular that's also of particular importance to expanding our community and scaling our efforts is the get involved page, which I've agreed to spend time with to ensure that it provides a friendly and complete point of entry for any and all who wish to become involved with OLPC.


Prepare grassroots assets Aaron has asked me to research and prepare some assets for a grassroots page of the new website, under the Participate section. This includes information about creating custom screensavers, personalizing email signatures, and printing business cards and other promotional materials.
