I thought that the idea was to pull fresh content from the Wikibooks we had written and that the TA book was one of the sources, hence I updated it. I'll try downloading the latest help activity bits and check them. Are they not available on ASLO? thanks. -walter > > We should be able to import chapters from other FLOSS manuals, such as your > Turtle Art manual, although I have had some difficulty making it work. > Tuukka wrote the latest version of booki and he is going to check it to see > if there is a problem that needs fixing. > > Sandra Thaxter wasn't at the SF Summit but has signed up to help with the > Turtle Art sections.

It is fine to let people work in whatever way they want, but we need a common place to put the results. If that is not the wikimanual, then why isn't it simply the wiki itself? I guess I should have been there in person instead of trying to participate remotely :P -walter > > Caryl > >> Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:40:58 -0400 >> Subject: Re: Need To Know: How to get the latest Help Activity on Macs and >> PCs??? >> From: walter.ben...@gmail.com >> To: cbige...@hotmail.com >> CC: support-g...@laptop.org; iaep-requ...@lists.sugarlabs.org; >> devel@lists.laptop.org; dow...@montanalinux.org; christ...@linux.com >> >> On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 6:51 PM, Caryl Bigenho <cbige...@hotmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Hi Folks, >> > >> > As most of you already know, a group of people have volunteered to write >> > an >> > up-to-date revision of the Help Activity that will be available online, >> > in a >> > print version via Lulu, and on the XO itself.
