Overview

Possibly use graphics as overview tool, like a Globe as deployment map (mentioned below)?

Need for several reasons to describe how/ what thec riteria for selection of 'successful' projects to be included, both to scope the sprint and project, plus for focus and clarity...

Readers / Contributors Perspectives: Student, Educator, Parent, Relatives (grandparents, etc), Politicians (local & international politics), Administrator (school, IT), NGOs (OLPC, Private School, Church/Faith Community, etc), Geek, Hardware Manufacturers, Software Developers, Community Organizers, Researchers, etc?

Classroom lead in?

After school deployments vs. fitting into existing curriculm, might be a long slow process here and abroad given politics and beaurcracy, e.g. standards of learning (SOL), etc...

Graphics Options: The less language specific we are, the easier to translate, and probably easier to understand, for all levels and reader perspectives...

Make an Online equivalent of the document, perhaps innovatively, so users changes and base templates can merge in Git like environment...

As a Living Document, not just something to print and put on a shelf like many manuals, policies and procedures documents...

Somehow make it Interactive? With Dynamic content?

• MindMap? As a Graphic Overview and sprint and learning process tool?
• Semantic web? connections?
• Automatically generate index/ references, bibliography?

Map Representative Deployments (opening page of book?)

Vague Character Graphics for a book/ process logo?

XO Symbol O Head = world globe? X building foundations from shoulders of giants? V future (link to clock bootup, implementation plan, and process) . vertex, current state of the art, time now, location, you are here ^ base

Logo with good stuff/deployments at each continent/ + green pastures for new deployments Map to OLPCorps Africa sites? User Group Locations Map Repair Centers

Getting Started Guide for Absolute Beginners

This is where Yama will be helping, mostly :-)

The Big Idea is to get to the point that someone picking up this book would be able to use the XO for something useful right away and without too much pain.

Most clear goal: teachers who have had so far no contact with computers being able to use XOs for actual, real classroom work. Yamaplos 21:00, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

   OLPC-SUR QtoA:
   * Where to get on-line and in-person help?
   * How much disk space have XOs, and how much is occupied by
     Activities and daily kid's work
   * what activities can be shared and among how many
   * how can this help or has helped learning
