OLPC:Webpage corrections needed

WalterSeth is working to fix factual errors and outdated information on non-wiki websites (primarily http://laptop.org and http://laptopgiving.org). Please list critically needed (read: will lead users into a dead end) edits here in as much detail as possible. This isn't the place to give suggestions on how to redesign/overhaul the entire website - try to keep it to fixes that can be made in 10 minutes or less so we can get things changed immediately.

laptopfoundation.org

• The GM system is not very well explained on the http://laptopfoundation.org/en/participate/givemany.shtml website. It sounds like a simple "you email and give us money, we give you laptops" transaction; there's nothing in there about a proposal.
• http://www.laptopfoundation.org/en/purpose/
  • This page spells 501(c)(3) incorrectly and has a stale listing of Board members, Board listing should just redirect to http://www.laptop.org/en/vision/people/index.shtml

olpcfoundation.org

• http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=olpcfoundation.org

This site is registered to mbletsas, but only goes to a "parked by GoDaddy" page. At the very least a redirect to laptopfoundation.org should be put in place.

Laptop.org

http://laptop.org/laptop/

http://laptop.org/faq.html

• WRONG INFORMATION

  • The XO Laptop specifications are incorrect !

    Link to specification page of :

    (page might be better if forwarded to current standard of: http://www.laptop.org/en/vision/mission/faq.shtml )

    (Which is wrong too. :)

• This page was originally linked from: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/One_Laptop_per_Child
  • (See FAQ section, :)

• Translation refresh needed. For instance, most non-english versions of these pages still list Walter Bender as president.

Dev.l.o

* http://dev.laptop.org/ ^ links to Trac_tickets which is broken Greg fixed 02:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

lists.l.o

The main page says "If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact mailman@lists.laptop.org."

Doing so gets you a message from "mailman-ownerlists.laptop.org" saying:

You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at mailman-owner@lists.laptop.org.

This is a very unhelpful help request mechanism and may easily keep people off lists.

planet.l.o

http://planet.laptop.org/ has no contact information and the planetmaster@laptop.org address bounces messages back. It might be nice to provide some sort of contact mechanism.

Media Lab

http://laptop.media.mit.edu/ is freaky old looking (green crank prototype) and has a dead wiki link to http://pedia.media.mit.edu/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child

Requests, but not urgent

from alc: Provide data to users that enter only email addresses and have multiple orders. Why can't it just show the tracking numbers and let the user pick?
