I've been trying to get someone to tackle this project. It was on my list of projects I posted earlier: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-May/013696.html Most of the support requests we get (even for the XO-1) are for basic "how do I use this thing" type questions. Preparing a nice walk-through activity would be really useful. (This is how my Palm device taught me how to use it, for example.) Starting with an XO-1 activity would be a good step towards making such an activity for the XO-2 eventually. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
