Questions from New Users

Schoolchildren reportedly are able to discover how to use an XO without adult assistance, except for features that are not currently working correctly. For those who are having trouble, and in particular those who have run into bugs and unfinished features, help is available. Start with the draft manual.

If the available documentation doesn't help, please post your questions here. Somebody is sure to answer.

These questions will become input to the documentation process. So even having trouble becomes a contribution to the success of the program.

Questions

Anything about the XO hardware or software that you can't figure out and is not documented.

Issues

Bugs, unfinished features.
