Welcome, Nikki!

Welcome to the One Laptop per Child wiki. Please make yourself at home; read through the Table of Contents and FAQ, and take a look around. If you need a general wiki-tutorial, Wikieducator has some excellent ones.

Some possible pages of interest:

  • OS images for emulation - so you can install Sugar and get tinkering
  • OLPC_Human_Interface_Guidelines - for designing interfaces
  • Etoys - paint as a programming tool; I bet you could come up with some sweet stuff for this.
  • Game_development - we'll need testers for the tools soon; it's a good chance for you to learn how to program.
  • There's a huge need for explanatory graphics like this that can explain both the laptop technology (would you be interested in helping with documentation, possibly in comic book format?) and the organization of materials (the linked picture shows one proposal for the library) to people without relying heavily on written language. Let me know if you're interested.
  • Artwork_Common_Room - there's not much here yet; would you and Jessi be interested in helping us start an artists' community?
  • Choosing_image_formats - notes on uploading images to the wiki.

There's a lot to do, and it all depends on what you're interested in and how much time you have - take a look around and give me a ping, and we'll find a spot for you. Feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you have further questions or need help finding your way around. -Mel

wiki art?

Hi! It's been some time I've been wanting (or dreaming) of some more graphical / visual elements in the wiki itself... like for example I just reworked the Template:Delete in that vein (compare to the old version) but just reused a local image (scavanged from Etoys).

So if you have time we could maybe think about the wiki art :) Maybe in line with the OLPC Human Interface Guidelines in mind? Cheers, --Xavi 14:29, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Digital Painting?

Hi. Perhaps add a topic sentence to Digital Painting describing the intended contents of the page? Stumbling upon it, I was unsure. :) MitchellNCharity 10:32, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

currency

There is now a Currency images and Talk:Currency images. Where to go from there... I'm not sure. Maybe put trimmed files on commons.wikipedia.org? MitchellNCharity 00:34, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

Drupal Dojo

Another possible inspiration for the volunteers frontpage / welcome wagon. We need to design an experience that's welcoming to newbies and they've done a remarkable job of it. google search should make all clear. Mchua 03:50, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
