re: mediawiki script
Thanks for the reminder! Turns out that you need not just admin accounts on the wiki but access to the webserver, so I passed it on to SJ; when I see him in the office tomorrow afternoon I'll try to catch him to sit down and actually work through it (if it hasn't already been installed by then). In the meantime, try linking to the youtube video... Mchua 01:00, 22 July 2007 (EDT)
measure jam
Emailed the olpc.tv folks about the youtube-on-mediawiki coolness, thanks for the suggest! Also passed on the Measure project ideas to my classmates who were looking for projects; hopefully some of them will ping you soon.
The Jams page has a short paragraph describing Jams that you can use to send out to your classmates and friends in new Delhi - you can hook up with any of the existing/upcoming Jams or plan your own. I'm filling in the How To Run A Jam book as the Curriculum Jam Taipei gets underway, so hopefully that might be useful to you soon... and I think the idea of running an engineering Jam around Measure is awesome, you should go for it! (actually, it might work well if the leaders of one of the IEEE student chapters organized the Jam, and you were the resident OLPC/XO/Measure expert on hand.) Keep me posted, Mchua 21:31, 23 July 2007 (EDT)
Sweet, Measure Jam! Are you thinking of doing a tech-flavored Jam (develop software/periphs for Measure) or a more education-ish Jam (here, teachers, take stuff we've made and teach things with it)? There's also the option to do both; see Journalism Jam New York for an example of a Jam that combines toolmaking with tooltesting. 65.78.19.90 21:32, 13 August 2007 (EDT)
the pictures on your userpage

RE: Status of Measure in OBX template
follow-up to User talk:Xavi#Status of Measure in OBX template
- Oops! yes you're right. And yes, 'bundled' seems fine. The categorization is still not totally defined (that's why they are red/missing), so any suggestions & feedback are more than welcome.
- I haven't removed the old {{Status box}} as I want to make sure there are no objections, and that the OBXes are helpful. Comments? :) --Xavi 11:20, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
- I love the OBXes! They concisely convey all the most important things a new user might want to know about any activity. Although, I cannot think of any now, I would let you know of any suggestions for additional fields in the OBXes. Great work on the OBXes! --Arjs 11:53, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
USB measuring sensors for the XO
We are working on the USB measuring sensors for the XO. Here are some technical details. We can make the hardware work but we need an application for the XO that will allow kids to work with the sensors. If you are interested we can work together. ZdenekBroz 16:18, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
- I would be glad to collaborate. I am a little hard pressed for time these days, so might not be able to undertake a lot of code-development work (I also have to complete feature requests and bug fixes within Measure ACtivity), however I would be happy to answer any of your questions and help you use or develop Measure Activity to suit your purpose. --Arjs 16:23, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
