Back burner

Someday

Projects and ideas I'd like to do, or see done, but haven't committed to yet. Usually the missing part is a collaborator, knowledge, resources, or just plain old activation energy and free time. If you'd like to take one of these projects (the important thing is that they happen, not who makes them happen), collaborate with me on any of them, offer support, or just talk and brainstorm about related ideas, please contact me.

  • OLPC webcomic
  • Rosetta Stone clone in Pygame (Update: An IMSA student is now doing this as her research project.)
  • Front-end for music composition (GUI for Lilypond? Something to translate between TamTam and Lilypond?)
  • "Heathkit" style build-your-own peripheral kits for the XO (solder your own gamepad, etc)
  • Intro to electrical engineering through taking apart & developing for the XO
  • Ad Libris, a lightweight metadata structure spec for the Library. (Update: This may have been taken up by OLE Nepal, but I can't tell from their descriptions yet.)


moved from projects

  • Jams
  • Testing
  • Wiki cleanup
  • Metacontent - Finding information can be tricky. Let's try to fix that.
  • Metapresentations - Compiling a review/summary of presentations on Laptop demonstrations and Presentations. Can you help?
  • Metawiki - Doing clean-up as per the Style guide whenever I can
  • Being a sort of wiki welcome wagon and helping out newcomers. Let me know if you're interested; we could always use more people to help show newbies around.
