resource creation Create a collection of coin and bill images, from all the trial-2 Countries(green), as a resource for Activities. Searching out images on the web, and basic image processing to prepare them for use. MitchellNCharity 10:32, 8 July 2007 (EDT) Nikki Bills are usually easy. Coin images, if they haven't been already, need to be clipped to the coin (no border), and the background made transparent. PNG being the ideal format. See also User:MitchellNCharity#Content: Images of currency - coins and bills/notes.
VisionScreeningDemo visual acuity and other tests for vision screening toolbar icons: 'left eye covered', 'right eye covered', 'both eyes uncovered'. MitchellNCharity 10:24, 24 June 2007 (EDT) none Perhaps come by #olpc-content and chat.
support for activity programmers and artists assist creation of iso-luminance palettes Find FOSS Lab or Munsell color pickers. And/or create tables of iso-luminance colors. MitchellNCharity 10:20, 24 June 2007 (EDT) none I want colorful activities. One obstacle is finding color values. Eg, "ok, I want a 128 gray line in direct sunlight, but I'd like it purple in color. What's the rgb value of a purple which becomes 128 gray in mono?". For tables, maybe {192,128,64,"very light, just a tint"} gray? In a few hues? Though finding a picker might be easier? Or am I missing something, and this is all easy if you just do foo?

Xavi points out Munsell! With a palette! :) Which helps, but a richer palette would be nice. We don't need to use Munsell's colorspace-smushing coordinates.

Display now has a code snippet which takes a gray-level, plus rgb, and returns a similar rgb which has roughly the given gray level.

There is also a Munsell color table in the sugar source. I'm not sure if it's a duplicate of the one in Munsell or not.

olpc wiki Create a video, composed of existing footage, selected for appeal to educators. To draw them in, and help build up the olpc educator community. video - clip selection, gathering and assembly. Finding good footage doesn't require editing skills, so that could be a separate task. MitchellNCharity 17:53, 21 June 2007 (EDT) none There is a lot of olpc-related video footage. Almost all unedited. When watching it, I think "oh, I wish I could show teacher friends that minute of that talk, and those seconds over there, and...". A video composed of these, perhaps posted in Educators, might help build up the educator community.
Summer of Content logo/shirt Make a logo for the Summer of Content 2007 program, and a t-shirt design (they can be the same thing, or we can put some kind of witty quote on the back of the t-shirt, or they can be two separate things, or whatever). Estimated work time < 6hr total including discussions, editing, and tweaking. Logo and shirt design. Vector graphics preferred, t-shirt design should use 3 colors or less if possible (bonus points for good-lookin' monochrome!) Mel Chua Nobody's working on this yet. Would you like to? This is time-sensitive; we need the task finished before July 20, 2007. The Google Summer of Code logo looks like this. This logo will be used for everything in the Summer of Content 2007 program - and possibly the SoCon program in general, and the T-shirt will be printed and sent out to the 100-odd mentors and interns working this summer, so w00t. We'll send you one, too.
