hi
I would like to propose a doc summit for sugar/olpc. Fm can facilitate a
series of sprints to get everything up to date. However we would need to
work together to raise the funds to make it happen. I am happy to put
work into this from our side (FM) - who can take the lead from Sugars side?

Yesterday we discussed with Sridhar Dhanapalan and other OLPC-Australia team
people the impact of updating the Sugar version on their deployment. One of
the unforeseen impacts comes to the documentation they have made for
training their teachers, as it has plenty of screenshots and videos that got
outdated because of all the UI changes made recently. This will bring an
important amount of work for updating...
One of the things that could be very helpful for them would be having the
floss manuals updated. I took a look at the manuals of "classic" activities
and they weren't updated. It would be great if some of the contributors who
worked on those manuals could lend a hand for having them updated.
Looking further, I think there should be some way for keeping the activities
documentation updated, or at least having a single place to see for each
activity how much updated its documentation is. Looking for ideas for having
this done.
Would it make sense including documentation updating in the upstreaming
process somehow?
Perhaps a coincidence? I was corresponding with Adam this morning
about the possibility of organizing a sprint to update the Sugar
manuals. I was going to put out a call for a champion on the Sugar
side to help organize it. Any takers?

The discussion with Pablo was on the same topic, so not just a coincidence.
Our OS (based on Dextrose 3) is mostly Sugar 0.94 as included in OLPC
OS 11.3.1. We've made some changes, but nothing too drastic. Updated
documentation on Sugar 0.94 and its activities would take us most of
the way there.
