OLPC TV
Hello, I just registered http://olpc.tv , a place to list and release OLPC related videos. I wonder if you would be interested and if you would have time to join me on that site as a moderator. You can email me at <charbax AT/EN charbax PUNTO/DOT com> if you are interested. I plan not only to have all the videos listed at Video of the OLPC (which I think I mostly have been updating and that page which I created about a year ago on this wiki), I plan to also regularly search youtube and Google Video for new OLPC related videos, also ask OLPC staff to produce more videos, and have a feature where any user can submit videos which a group of moderators can check and release on the video feed. Charbaax posted this.
Wiki Input
Xavi, thank you for all of your input and wiki organization. To answer some of your implicit questions: subpages just create backlinks to their parent pages up top. And yes, we need to turn on interwiki links.... Sj talk
- Thanks! I just hope that my signal:noise ratio is within the accepted limits :) So any feedback (go, stop, deviate, focus here, forget that, etc.) will be more than appreciated!! We all have our perks and personal interests... we just have to find the best way for the project!
- One thing I would like about interwiki linking is to have an icon (similar to the offsite link) that would denote to which wiki that'll take you.
- Another thing, would be the capability of including images from external (wikipedia's mostly) sites. That is to avoid having to upload them to this site (although I don't know what policies would apply to 'divert' traffic to external repositories). Cheers. --Xavi 11:59, 27 December 2006 (EST)
- And again, thanks for your oversight of newbie contributions. External images... I'll look into that. Better -- and safer from a standpoint of imagers not breaking in future -- is still to upload them here.
OLPC Colombia
Xavi, thanks a lot for helping me complement OLPC Colombia, i think that we have to help each other like latinoamericans in this proyect.--RafaelOrtiz 21:05, 29 December 2006 (EST)
- Un placer! Creo que hay un montón de cosas sobre las cuales podemos trabajar juntos. Lo mio (por el momento) son estadisticas y otros aspectos no-informáticos. Una posible veta para explorar es ver a latinoamérica en su conjunto, no solo como países aislados... te prendes?
- I'm assuming from your name and working area in the wiki that you're colombian (thus a native spanish speaker) if that's not the case, please let me know, and I'll swap languages! :) --Xavi 21:17, 29 December 2006 (EST)
Xavi me le pego de una vez, todo lo que pueda hacer lo hare, deberiamos crear una pagina especial para latinoamerica, con links de noticias y proyectos...?, ademas tambien me gustaria ayudar a organizar las paginas de paises como nepal y laos asi como nuevos paises que esten iniciando en el proyecto.--RafaelOrtiz 11:48, 30 December 2006 (EST)
- Rafael, estoy totalmente de acuerdo con la 'zona latinoamericana'... y ya hubiera generado la página inicial, pero me cuesta encontrar el nombre correcto...
- OLPC Latin America - incluye a Brasil, que ya tiene suficiente coherencia interna como país, y la idea es (para mí) integrar a los países de habla castellana en el continente americano (todo bien con Brasil :)
- OLPC LA - son demasiadas letras (y nunca falta el que piense en Los Angeles ;)
- OLPC Hispanic America - por motivos 'ideológicos' no me gusta... :( aunque en cierto modo, creo que es el más 'correcto'
- Tambien habia pensado en 'OLPC Sudaca' - que si bien para algunos es despectivo, también otorga identidad (aunque algo rebelde e irreverente... ;)
- Por el momento voy a arrancar con OLPC Spanish America (cualquier cosa despues la movemos). Sugerencias o ideas? --Xavi 07:17, 31 December 2006 (EST)
- El nombre Spanish america me parece acertado, lastima lo de Brasil pero entiendo las razones y no hay lio, podriamos poner un mapa en la pagina con los paises involucrados o que tengan algun proceso en cuanto a este proyecto, tal vez un link a country status por ejemplo...
Por otro lado no se si tenemos soporte interwiki.. tu sabes si hay o lo has utilizado..? --RafaelOrtiz 03:50, 6 January 2007 (EST)
adminship
Xavi, I've made you a wiki admin; please use your newfound power for good -- be careful in banning users, and in protecting or deleting pages. Sj talk 17:58, 9 January 2007 (EST)
- I'm flattered. Thanks! I'll use the new powers carefully.
- BTW, is there a page (besides OLPCWiki:Community Portal and some other notes here and there) for admins to flock around and coordinate things?
- I guess my days as careless contributor are over... now I'll have to watch over myself! :) --Xavi 08:51, 10 January 2007 (EST)
