- Aw, thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Other ideas that I have are centered around the teachers as well as the kids, such as the teaching aspects of the XO, describing why the XO is important to education, creating or planning lessons that use the XO, scenarios about extra practice on XO basics, based on age of child or curriculum goals... so more to go. Thanks for the encouragement.

Simplified User Guide Graphics
When do you need them done by? I would be willing to work on them, but I can't guarantee apreciable progress during the semester. Winter break would be a great time to work on it though. --Nikki 14:14, 15 November 2007 (EST)
- I hope this is the right way to reply... I'll also try email. Thanks so much for offering... we could take rolling additions as time permitted, so your winter break idea is a good one. Mostly the goal is to avoid translation by cutting words and replacing with pictures, so your contributions would be saving work for others. Thanks!

talk pages
You generally reply to people on their own talk pages, since that gives them an automatic highlighted notice when they next visit the site... a common thing to do is to reply on your own talk page for the benefit of others visiting yours, and to paste it into the original commenters talk page as well with your response. Please also sign your posts (with ~~~~). Rest easy, Sj talk 09:11, 16 November 2007 (EST)
Russian translation of SUG
Hi Anne, I am a Russian translator taking care of Russian OLPC wiki pages. I just noticed a reference to your name on the Russian Simplified User Guide page. I am just curious if the Russian Guide can be posted on the page (it seems some edits have been made on the source page) or there are some reasons to keep it inside the Google group only. --Biarm 09:55, 30 November 2007 (EST)
- That makes sense to me 8) There is a small community of Russian translators, so we could take care about the updates of the document. You may e-mail the file to me for an upload (yarmakhov at gmail dot com)

Changing the battery
Hi Anne,
I don't have a laptop either, but my impression from the animations and instructions are that both latches hold the battery in place when closed, but the left one is spring-loaded closed while the right one is not. So to remove the battery you have to unlock the right one, then hold the left one open while simultaneously lifting out the battery. That's why I illustrated two steps to removing the battery, showing the simultaneous steps in a single illustration. I can do it as a single illustration with numbers, but I'm not sure the simultaneous nature of the action will be as clear. —Joe 15:10, 10 December 2007 (EST)
