9.1.0 is cancelled, joyride does not incorporate latest Sucrose, O.S. development is taking place elsewhere. Such adjustments have made big chunks of wiki.laptop.org deceptive. AFAIK, no one has put this change in direction on the wiki (?!), so I jumped in.
* I started with http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Future_releases , adding a new section == Next-generation releases will not come from OLPC == based around NN's Q&A statement. I added a subsection pointing to the most promising replacements (~cjb/rawhide and SugarLabs' SoaS XO images), with a "not ready" caveat. IMO, the Future_releases page should continue to be the definitive statement about future releases (duh). The wiki has thousands of half-hearted ill-maintained pages, it doesn't need more. I have adjusted some misleading pages, always linking back to [[Future releases]] so as to avoid populating lots of pages with info that's subject to change. * In the "Devel" line of the "Latest Releases" green box I put a "Read note!" link. * In http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Joyride I added a section === Joyride is not producing usable releases === * I marked http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0 as obsolete, saying A specific 9.1.0 release from OLPC is not going to happen, linking to Ed McNierney's public statement in http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/023079.html (I did the same in the 9.1.0 section of Future releases.) * In http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images#Development_builds I indicated the change in approach and de-emphasized joyride. == TO DO == * Find and adjust many other misleading pages. * I'm not sure what to do with the big swath of 9.1.0 Future features/roadmap pages and subpages. * Can someone with rights please update http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap to add a prominent link to [[Future releases]] and kill off the dead milestones. * Is the Joyride stream obsolete rather than "temporarily not working as designed"? * If there are specific XO features that are going away in this new world (e.g. Rainbow, Bitfrost, olpc-update, the Software update Sugar control panel, "press O to revert to previous image", ?), they should be listed in a new "Not applicable" section of http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Enabling_XO_features_on_other_distributions and their wiki pages somehow flagged with a {{does not apply in new world}} template. * Is this janitorial work in the ruins a waste of time better served by wholesale page deletions? Thanks for all you do, and I look forward to the next-generation Linux distributions with Sugar running on my XO. -- =S Page _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
